According to police, the storm drain was within the North Penn Marketplace shopping center at Valley Forge Road and Sumneytown Pike.

The wood was used to cover the drain pipe so the ducklings would not venture further into the drain pipe, police said.

The new Police Athletic League got some parents and teens to commit to being a part of the partnership between law enforcement and the community Saturday at Montgomery Mall
It's once in a blue moon that shoppers will witness an Upper Gwynedd Township Police motorcycle making laps inside the Montgomery Mall.

Often, those people would see what all the noise was about — and leave with their child signed up for free as a new member of the nonprofit North Penn Police Athletic League. The North Penn PAL kicked off its presence in the area with a sign-up and awareness …
