• Police Activity Blotter 12/7/25 - 12/13/25 (crimewatchpa.com) — Kennett Square police handled a busy week of calls, from school-zone traffic stops and a lost dog to a juvenile complaint, domestic dispute, and a warrant arrest for violating a protection-from-abuse order. Officers also investigated several minor crashes around town, marked abandoned vehicles on Penn Avenue, and issued numerous tickets while conducting 96 extra patrol checks in the borough’s neighborhoods and business areas. 
• Mold-like debris in hand sink drain: Chester County restaurant inspections, Dec. 14, 2025 (lancasteronline.com) — Recent state food-safety inspections found several Kennett Square establishments, including La Verona, Ji-in Korean Eatery, Double AA Burgers, the UPA Buzz Barn Snack Bar, and Kennett Fire Co. facilities, generally in compliance but with some needing fixes like better date-marking, cleaning, and equipment repairs. The report also lists dozens of other Chester County restaurants, schools, churches, and stores, noting specific violations, follow-ups, and openings that may matter if you dine or shop there.
