PHILIPSBURG – A Philipsburg man is facing theft charges after allegedly stealing over $8,000 dollars worth of items from a Chester Hill apartment.
According to police, in August of 2025, 45 year-old Raymond Castro III was living at the apartment while it was being remodeled. Castro then allegedly used a U-Haul truck to load around $8,000 dollars worth of items from the renovation.
