WEST CHESTER, PA — The Westtown-East Goshen Regional Police Department announced that a 57-year-old man was arrested on June 13, 2023, in connection to an identity theft/theft scheme after an extensive yearlong investigation.

Peter Aleszczyk was arraigned by Honorable Judge Martin G. Goch where bail was set at 10 percent of $250,000.00. Aleszczyk failed to post bail and was transported to Chester County Prison pending a preliminary hearing.
