110833861

A West Passyunk man turned himself in last week over his alleged burglary of a Center City apartment.

As first reported in the Oct. 2 South Philly Review as “Local man sought,” authorities had been seeking Leonard Burton for reportedly taking $7,800 worth of goods from a woman’s quarters at the Westbury Apartments, where he worked as a concierge. They issued a warrant for his arrest and supposedly capturing his image on surveillance video. On Oct. 7, the resident of the 2500 block of Jackson Street turned himself in, with police booking him on burglary, criminal mischief and theft charges. He posted his $5,000 bail the same day and awaits an Oct. 21 preliminary hearing.
