Residents in Lower Merion Township are urged to stay alert after two men—identified as Jake Fox and Scott Bradley—were arrested for allegedly running an elaborate home improvement scam targeting local homeowners.

Authorities say the suspects operated under multiple business names, including “PJS Paving & Masonry Corp.,” “Orchard Paving,” and “Perfect Paving LLC,” deceiving clients with abrupt price hikes and undocumented material changes.

Several neighbors in the Belmont Hills area reported these unsettling sales tactics, prompting a months-long investigation and culminating in felony charges against the pair.

Investigators revealed the suspects are European nationals who changed their identities after entering the U.S., raising further community concern.

Police urge anyone approached by these men or similar fraudulent contractors to contact the department and recommend checking credentials through the township’s licensed contractor list or the Better Business Bureau.

A Year in Books: Thrills, Tears, and Triumphs

Each year, I make a goal for how many books I would like to read. I have a competitive nature, so setting a goal motivates me to keep reading and avoid a slump. My goal this year is 30 books, and I also hope to increase the total number of books I read over time. So far, I’ve read 5 books. Below, I listed two of my favorites from this year.

 Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard 

Red Queen is about a girl named Mare who lives in a world where people with silver blood have powers and rule over people with red blood who don’t. When Mare suddenly discovers she has powers even though she’s a Red, she gets pulled into the royal world and secretly helps a rebellion. The book is mostly about power, secrets, and figuring out who to trust.

 Not Our Daughter by Chad Zunker 

Not Our Daughter is about a couple who adopt a baby after the baby’s mother dies and warns them that someone dangerous is after her child. Years later, their past catches up to them and they have to go on the run to protect the girl they raised as their own. The story focuses on family, danger, and how far people will go to protect someone they love.
