A new tip line is in place to report prescription drug abuse.

The following information comes from the Westtown Police Department:

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Philadelphia Division is committed to working with citizens and law enforcement agencies throughout the states of Pennsylvania and Delaware in combating the misuse of prescription drugs.

Preventing prescription drug abuse and the related criminal activity of pharmaceutical diversion and distribution is one of their top priorities.
