The KYW Newsradio All-Local for Wednesday, May 1, 2024 (Evening Edition):
The body of a child found in West Philadelphia in March has been identified as the missing 4-year-old investigators were searching for. KYW's Crime and justice reporter Kristen Johanson has the details.
A Philadelphia man is under arrest, charged in a murder-for-hire plot. And as KYW’s Justin Udo tells us, he’s also accused of making dozens of illegal gun purchases.
A Bucks County man is charged with stealing nearly $200,000 from a parked car while the owner of the vehicle was inside a Bensalem gas station. Bensalem police were able to identify the thief through the license plate on the white Kia Optima he fled in. They arrested him his apartment complex in Croydon.
A bill that would significantly increase penalties for street racing or pop-up car rallies is on its way to the Pennsylvania House. As KYW's Suburban Bureau Chief Jim Melwert reports it passed in the state Senate with overwhelming bipartisan support.
