On the evening of Saturday, August 29, 2020, Sgt. McCloskey's squad responded to a residence in West Whiteland Township. The resident reported she could not enter her residence because there were thirty "Murder Hornets" inside. Ofc. D'Andrea entered the residence and borrowed the homeowners vacuum. He was able to vacuum up all of the hornets.
The hornets were secured at the police department until a local bee expert identified them as European Hornets.
The homeowner said the officers had gone "Above and Beyond" in their assistance that evening and she wanted to thank them. Those officers were Sgt. McCloskey, Ofc. D'Andrea, Ofc. O'Brien and Ofc. Pat Gardner. Sometimes you may get one officer to respond to your call for assistance and sometimes you may get more depending on the situation.
