Police warn of unlicensed vendors
COAL TOWNSHIP — Township police have received reports of people soliciting door-to-door, offering various goods for sale.
Residents are reminded that salespersons selling legitimate goods will have a valid permit issued by the municipality and signed by the chief of police. This permit must be available to view on demand, and citizens should ask to see it before agreeing to purchase any merchandise.
Citizens are requested to contact the Coal Township Police Department at 644-0333 if approached by salespersons who cannot display a valid permit on request.
