Published reports are saying that now for a fourth time in less than a month, bedbugs have been found at the Moss Justice Center in York. The insects were found Friday afternoon in a reception area of the solicitor’s office, said York County Clerk of Court David Hamilton.
That office is on the second floor. The area had been “locked down” and “quarantined” after previous bedbug incidents in October in the 16th Circuit Solicitor’s Office, but at least one live insect was found, Hamilton said.
The area was sprayed and treated over the weekend, and the building is expected to be open Monday after an inspection, Hamilton said.
The building has more than 100 employees from offices including the clerk of court, solicitor, public defender, court security and other court functions.
The Moss center is made up of two buildings – the courts building and a building next to it containing the York County Sheriff’s Office and county jail.
