Mercer County, PA – Pennsylvania State Police are asking for the public’s help after a theft caused thousands of dollars in damage at a local laundromat earlier this fall.
According to Pennsylvania State Police Troop D, Mercer barracks, the incident occurred at the J&J Laundromat in Coolspring Township on October 16, 2025. Investigators say an unidentified suspect allegedly stole cash and caused approximately $5,000 in damage to a Skills Machine inside the business.
State police have released images of the suspect and are actively working to identify the individual involved. Authorities say the damage significantly impacted the business and are urging anyone who may recognize the suspect or have information about the theft to come forward.
According to PSP, tips can be submitted by calling PSP Mercer at 724-748-0044 or PSP Tips toll-free at 1-800-472-8477. Information can also be submitted online through the PSP Tips website.
Officials emphasize that all callers to PSP Tips may be eligible for a cash reward if their information leads to an arrest, helps solve the crime or a cold case, or assists in locating a wanted or missing person.
