A Bristol Township man was arrested last week on two warrants – one relating to alleged drug offenses and another related to an alleged staged robbery.
In the latter incident, Bristol Township Police Department Detective Gregory Beidler wrote that Jared Aichele, 34, was involved in setting up a staged robbery that happened last May at the Acme on New Falls Road in Levittown.

According to the probable cause affidavit, Aichele came into the Acme wearing a full motorcycle helmet at 7 a.m. He forced a woman, who was in on the robbery, across the store and made her go into the cash room.
After the staged robbery was complete, Aichele reportedly tied up his victim with a black zip tie and fled.
Police said that store surveillance footage shows the inside agent unlocking items in the cash room, allowing Aichele easy access.

Aichele made off from the Acme with $43, 207, police said.
Police paperwork stated that later in the day, the inside woman and Aichele met in the Indian Creek neighborhood, where he paid her $7,000 and 35 Percocet pills.

In a second case filed against Aichele, an informant executed two drug deals under police supervision, court papers stated.
The pills the informant received from Aichele were investigated and determined to be Percocet, police said.
