Weekend Blotter: Blue Route Chase, AirTag Durango, Overnight Shootings

Labor Day weekend left a thin overnight desk after Sunday’s Blue Route chase — here’s a quick look at the Philly-area crime and public-safety stories we covered since Friday, all drawn from attributed reporting already on Philly Crime Update.

Two in Custody After Blue Route Stabbing Chase — A stabbing on southbound I-476 near Exit 13 Sunday evening led to a U-Haul chase into Rosemont, brief lockdowns at Villanova and Bryn Mawr Hospital, and two men in custody. Names and charges had not been released as of Monday morning.

East Kensington Durango Recovered After AirTag Chase — A couple tracked hidden AirTags as their white Dodge Durango was stolen from Jasper Street early Friday; police recovered it more than four miles north. No arrests announced.

Four Wounded in Overnight Philly Shootings — Three separate early-Saturday shootings left four people hurt in North Philly, Nicetown, and Overbrook. No arrests announced.

Philly Men Named in NYC Mobile Puppy Mill Operation — The New York Post identified Philadelphia men accused of illegally selling designer puppies from an SUV in Manhattan’s Diamond District.

Also in the mix this weekend: the Hannah Graham Kleitz cold-case identification, the Dover Cava teen shooting, and a Wharton Street firefighter injury.

We’ll update the Blue Route post as soon as Pennsylvania State Police release names or charges.
