Sanbury, PA, to Fine for Multiple False Alarms
Sanbury,
PA, residents whose home or business is equipped with an alarm system now face fines for redundant false alarm situations, officials said Monday.
An alarm ordinance passed by the Mahoning Township supervisors -- Chairperson Christine DeLong, Vice Chairman Ronald Miller and Supervisor William Earlston -- now requires residents to register their alarm systems and face penalties for potential false alarms.
Solicitor Rick Shoch said the scale of fines rise for each incident: a warning notice will be distributed for the first two events; events three and four result in a $100 fine; events five and six will result in $150 fines; events seven and eight a $200 fine; event nine a $250 fine; and from event 10 and on owners face a $300 fine.
Shoch said the ordinance will take effect Jan. 1, 2009.
