Police officers from three Levittown-area municipalities and agents from the Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole took to area streets Wednesday morning.

Three teams of officers from Bristol Township, Falls Township and Tullytown Borough and parole agents fanned out throughout the area to search for 30 people wanted for a variety of reasons. Warrants for the wanted varied from robbery to retail theft and possession of drugs and addresses were spread out from one end of Lower Bucks County to the other.

Falls police Lt. Hank Ward said four of the 28 people on the warrant list were arrested.

Below are a list of those arrested:

  • Keith Jackson, 44, of Bristol Township, wanted for retail theft.
  • Nikki Twitty, 39, of Bristol Borough, wanted for possession.
  • Delisa Osborne, 32, of Bristol Township, wanted for a drug-related offense.
  • Keon Morgan, 26, of Bristol Township, wanted for robbery.

About 20 members of law enforcement headed out to begin their warrant sweep around 5 a.m. and ended up running down the names on the list and checking out multiple address for some of the wanted local residents.

One man wanted for a drug-related offense, according to police, was not at his last listed address at an apartment complex in Falls. Officers tracked down leads and learned a name of his possible girlfriend and that Bristol Township officers made contact with him at a motel along Route 13.

A 23-year-old woman wanted for a warrant related to possession of drug paraphernalia was on the warrant list. After a check on her address, her grandmother relayed that she was away in rehab.
