WINSLOW PD: Have You Hired A & C Cleaning Service? Have You Had Dealings with Casey Spila?

Casey Spila

WINSLOW, TOWNSHIP (January 4, 2020)–Wednesday, December 30, 2019 members of the Winslow Twp Detective Bureau conducted an undercover operation into the sales of stolen sports memorabilia, in excess of $1,000. The items were recently reported stolen during a burglary that occurred in the Sicklerville section of Winslow Township. During that operation Casey Spila of the Sicklerville section of Winslow Township met to sell stolen merchandise to Winslow Township undercover officers .

December 30, Spila was arrested and charged with burglary, receiving stolen property, and theft and released on a summons in accordance with NJ Bail Reform.

During that investigation it was learned that Spila runs A & C Cleaning Services, which she operates throughout the area.

Friday, January 3, 2020

, Spila was arrested again at the We Buy Gold store in Sicklerville, after she was found to be in possession of multiple pieces of stolen jewelry. The Winslow Township PD believes there are additional victims that are unaware that they have been the victim of burglary/theft. The police encourage anyone that has used Spila\’s services to check their valuables and if they believe they are a victim of theft, contact

Winslow Township Police Detective Brian Barrett at 609-567-0700 x1178, in an effort to identify some of the recovered property.

January 3, 2020

Spila was initially charged with receiving stolen property in Winslow Township with additional charges pending in other jurisdictions.

ICE Lodges Detainer against Mexican illegal Alien arrested in SC for Sexual Abuse of a Child

CHARLESTON, S.C. – U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) lodged an immigration detainer Tuesday against an unlawfully present Mexican man arrested in North Charleston earlier this month

for sexual abuse of a child.

Carlos Bartolo-Rios was arrested December 19 by the U.S. Marshals Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force, of which ICE and the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office are members, after executing a state criminal warrant at Bartolo-Rios’s North Charleston residence for first degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor.

Mr. Bartolo-Rios is currently being held by the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office while awaiting trial for the state criminal charges he faces. ICE has lodged an immigration detainer against Mr. Bartolo-Rios and will seek to take him into immigration custody for removal proceedings at whatever point he may be released from criminal custody for the crimes he faces in South Carolina.

“This case is an excellent example of ICE’s ongoing focus to prioritize its immigration enforcement efforts toward unlawfully present foreign nationals who pose a clear threat to public safety,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Atlanta Acting Field Office Director John Tsoukaris. “Despite attempts by some to confuse the public, ICE does not conduct any type of random or indiscriminate enforcement and the agency’s targeted enforcement efforts make communities safer for all persons whatever their immigration status may be.”

In fiscal year 2019, more than 90 percent of all persons arrested by ICE within the Atlanta field office, which includes Georgia and the Carolinas, either had a criminal conviction, a pending criminal charge, or were already subject to a removal order issued by a federal immigration judge.

Members of the public who have information about foreign fugitives are urged to contact ICE by calling the ICE tip line at 1 (866) 347-2423 or internationally at 001-1802-872-6199. They can also file a tip online by completing ICE’s

online tip form

ICE is focused on the arrest and removal of public safety threats, such as convicted criminal aliens and gang members, as well as individuals who have violated our nation’s immigration laws, including those who illegally re-entered the country after being removed and immigration fugitives ordered removed by federal immigration judges.

Head of Terrorist Organization Killed by U.S. Military

FACE OF DEFENSE

AMERICAN HERO

At the direction of the President, the U.S. military has taken decisive defensive action to protect U.S. personnel abroad by killing Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force, a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization.

The commander helped direct wars in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen, and he became the face of Iran’s efforts to build a regional bloc of Shiite power. He was linked to the deaths of 600 Americans during the Obama administration (image courtesy of the New York Times)

General Soleimani was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region. General Soleimani and his Quds Force were responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American and coalition service members and the wounding of thousands more. He had orchestrated attacks on coalition bases in Iraq over the last several months – including the attack on December 27th – culminating in the death and wounding of additional American and Iraqi personnel. General Soleimani also approved the attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad that took place this week.

This strike was aimed at deterring future Iranian attack plans. The United States will continue to take all necessary action to protect our people and our interests wherever they are around the world.
