Ca$h Mob Bradford Off to Great Start


Ca$h Mob Bradford made it's first "hit" on Saturday at Timeless Treasures on Chestnut Street. 28 mobsters – including 26 adults and 2 children - met at the Bradford Area Chamber of Commerce office, where Timeless Treasures was announced as the first Ca$h Mob Bradford target, and then the group headed to the Chestnut Street store to do their shopping.

The new Ca$h Mob Bradford program is organized by the Bradford Area Chamber of Commerce as a way to stimulate the economy and support locally owned businesses. The idea was put into action after a local resident shared information about the Grove City Area Chamber of Commerce’s successful cash mob program with Bradford Area Chamber of Commerce staff. Ca$h Mob Bradford will target a different BACC member business each month, with mobsters each spending $20 or more in cash at the target--which is not announced until the day of the event.

On Saturday, the Ca$h Mob Bradford participants generated $701.13 in sales for Timeless Treasures, a lovely shop with an incredible variety of merchandise tucked into every nook and cranny of the store. Timeless Treasures’ creatively-displayed inventory includes decorative housewares, children’s clothes, toys, candles, kitchenware, specialty food items, gifts, and more. One lucky mobster was also randomly chosen to receive a $25 Bradford Gift Certificate.

BACC’s next Ca$h Mob Bradford will be held on Saturday, September 20th at 11am. Those interested in joining the mob should bring at least $20 cash to spend at a locally owned business and meet at Veterans’ Square on Main Street. If the cash mob has at least 25 participants (those spending $20 each), then a $25 Bradford Gift Certificate will be awarded to one of the participants. Anyone interested in being added to the Ca$h Mob email reminder list should contact kara.kennedy@bradfordchamber.com. Join the mob – it’s a fun way to support local businesses and put “Shop Local” into action!

Pictured, Saturday’s first Ca$h Mob Bradford targeted Timeless Treasures on Chestnut Street, where the mob generated $701.13 in sales. September’s Ca$h Mob Bradford event is scheduled for Saturday, September 20th at 11am – mobsters should bring their $20 in cash and meet at Veterans’ Square, where the target will be announced.

HARRISBURG — Attorney General Tom Corbett today announced that agents from the Attorney General’s Bureau of Narcotics Investigation, assisted by local police officers from across Erie County and the Pennsylvania State Police, are in the process of arresting 41 suspects linked to a nearly $5 million drug organization operating in and around Erie. Corbett said the nearly 2-year long grand jury investigation, known as “Operation Diamond Drop,” used court-ordered wiretaps, undercover surveillance and controlled drug purchases to identify large-scale cocaine and marijuana traffickers in the region. “Drug trafficking at this level is ‘big business’, including upper-level suppliers, mid-level distributers and street-level sales people,” Corbett said. “Our investigations focus on following the drugs and money to their source, allowing us to attack an entire drug distribution network when we make our arrests.” Corbett said the chief figure charged today is Miguel Angel Burgos, 31, 9891 Holly
