Teen Killed After Abduction From West Pottsgrove Home

The body of a local teen was discovered along the side of Sanatoga Station Road in Lower Pottsgrove Sunday afternoon, following a reported home invasion and abduction in West Pottsgrove earlier in the day.

West Pottsgrove Police were dispatched to the 1200 block of Manatawny Street at about 2 p.m. for a report of a home invasion. According to reports, multiple individuals armed with handguns approached the teen—identified as 19-year-old Kareem Ali Borowy—and demanded cash. The gunman then abducted the teen from his home, and fled the scene in a car.

Reports indicate Borowy's adopted mother, Ruth Borowy, was inside the home with three other adopted children at the time of the abduction occurred. An earlier report from The Mercury stated the family members were tied up but otherwise unharmed. Those details, however, were not addressed in a statement released from the district attorney's office.

Less than 30 minutes later, a passing motorist called 911 to report they were flagged down by Borowy, who was laying along the side of Sanatoga Station Road in Lower Pottsgrove. Borowy was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later, but his cause and manner of death have not been released, according to 6ABC.

Sanatoga Station Road was closed from Porter Road to South Pleasantview Road from 2 to 8 p.m., as investigators combed the scene for evidence. The investigation into Borowy's death is being treated as a homicide.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is urged to contact either the West Pottsgrove Police Department at 610-323-2090, the Lower Pottsgrove Police Department at 610-325-1508 or the Montgomery County Detectives at 610-278-3368.
