Theft charges: A father and son who own Sadowski’s Towing are each facing charges of theft and criminal mischief after they allegedly towed and scrapped a car that didn’t belong to them last month. Cecil Township police said that on July 1, an abandoned vehicle was reported in the parking lot of R&M Investments. Police said the owner of the vehicle tried to get the car back and reported it missing Aug. 28. When asked by police, Richard M. Sadowski, 56, of Carnegie, and his father, Stanley F.
