MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP, Pa. - Law enforcement is urging residents to be cautious of a new scam making its way around a township in Bucks County.
Middletown Township Police posted a photo of a mailer they said someone had recently sent out.
It appears to be asking for donations for "Citizens Behind the Badge," providing a P.O. Box address in Virginia.
"DO NOT SEND IN ANY PAYMENT - THIS IS A SCAM," police said in a scam alert posted Thursday.
