Armed robbers who carjacked a vehicle in Fair Lawn after an attempt in Paramus failed were pursued into Englewood, where they bailed out and quickly made themselves scarce, authorities said.

Jancarlos Rivera, 18, was charged with aggravated assault with a weapon, recklessly endangerment, criminal mischief, possession of a handgun for an unlawful purpose, and unlawful possession of a handgun, officials said.

Two 17-year-old male teenagers, one of Bayonne and one of Newark, were each charged with possession of a handgun for an unlawful purpose and unlawful possession of a handgun, Bayonne Police Captain Eric Amato said.

Additionally, the teen from Bayonne was charged with receiving stolen property, while the Newark teen was charged with aggravated assault.

Polnarev and the alleged victim, also of Wyckoff, apparently both got out of their vehicles five miles up the road, in the area of Sicomac Avenue and Faner Road at the Wyckoff border, responders said.

They argued and the younger man flashed a folding knife before leaving the area, Midland Park Police Chief Michael Powderley said.

The alleged conduct began during Manalapan Township's National Night Out event, part of an annual community outreach campaign in which numerous police departments countywide participated.

Ruditsky was in full uniform at the time, and after allowing the victim to sit in his patrol car, later that evening and in the days that followed, he began sending her sexually explicit messages and photos over social media   despite the victim having repeatedly informed him of her age, the prosecutor said.

The investigation also found that several days after National Night Out, while the victim was driving on Route 9, Ruditsky pulled her over, unlawfully handcuffed her, and attempted to kiss her while his dash camera and body-worn camera were both deactivated.

Severino exited a Toyota Camry near his residence, that was later determined to be stolen from Jersey City.

Moments later, Severino was seen leaving his residence and after a brief foot pursuit, he was placed under arrest. At the time of his arrest a loaded 9mm Taurus Millennium semi-automatic pistol was recovered from his person.

This is a picture of my fathers back deck at 5am this morning in Cherry Quay in Brick. There were 4 men (this one with a gun!) Tried getting into their cars and then pulled on the slider to the house. One picture is them looking in their bedroom!!!
Thank god it was all locked up and they have multiple cameras and an alarm. Be safe. Lock your cars and doors! Police were contacted.

The victim said two men, both wearing ski masks, tried to steal his car at approximately 8:40 p.m. on High Street near the intersection of Hamilton Street.

He said the two suspects entered his car and when he tried to get the perpetrators out of the vehicle, one of them punched him with a closed fist.

The perpetrators fled on foot and have not been apprehended. The victim was treated on scene for his injuries.

The description of the perpetrators is limited at this time.

MOUNT LAUREL, NJ   A man convicted of attempted murder escaped state custody Tuesday, according to Mount Laurel police.

Edward Berbon had been in state custody since 2005. Assigned to a halfway house, Berbon was on a work detail in Mount Laurel during his escape, authorities said.

Berbon is 6 feet tall and 250 pounds, with blue eyes and brown/gray hair.

Police advised the public to call 911 if he's seen. Those with relevant information can contact the New Jersey Department of Corrections's Fugitive Unit at 1-800-523-3829.

Police say it happened around 3:30 p.m. when the victim parked her white Porsche Macan at her home along Floyd Road. They say as she got out of the car, she was approached by three men.
Officials say the suspects demanded the woman's keys and then punched and hit her around the head until she was knocked down to the ground. The suspects drove off in the Porsche and a getaway car.
Police responded and spotted both cars at the intersection of Mount Prospect and Bloomfield avenues. Verona police officers gave chase but ended that pursuit when it became too dangerous to follow.

News 12 previously reported about a Montclair family that was victimized by car thieves. In that case, three young men broke into the house while the family of four slept inside. They grabbed a key fob and took a BMW in the driveway.
That home is only 3 miles away from this latest theft. Verona Police Chief Christopher Kieran says his detectives do not believe the two thefts are related.

NORRISTOWN   A New Jersey man who police said stole a handgun from a display table of a merchant at a gun show in Upper Providence Township and also used false identification to purchase another firearm is headed to prison.

Christopher M. Hart, 37, of Roebling, N.J., was sentenced in Montgomery County Court to 4 to 8 years in a state correctional facility after he pleaded guilty to felony charges of person not to possess a firearm and making materially false statements on state and federal firearms sales paperwork in connection with the June 11, 2022, incident at the gun show at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Upper Providence.

The investigation began about 3:06 p.m. June 11 when Upper Providence police were dispatched to the Eagle Arms Gun Show at the expo center on Station Avenue for a report of a theft in progress, according to the criminal complaint filed by Upper Providence Police Officer Eric Smith.

The operator of Jordan Firearms reported to police that a male stole a handgun from his display table and a short time later Hart was apprehended with the stolen Taurus G3 9mm semiautomatic handgun, according to the criminal complaint. The gun was valued at $579.99, police said.

The investigation found that Hart had a previous drug conviction in New Jersey that made Hart a person not to possess a firearm, police alleged.

A search of Hart also yielded a receipt in the amount of $291 for a Taurus G7 9mm handgun purchased from Backwoods Outfitters, which also had a display table at the gun show, court documents indicate.

The receipt for the purchase was made out in the name of a Philadelphia man, whose driver's license Hart used to fill out federal and state firearms purchase forms "to fraudulently purchase the Taurus G7 in an attempt to circumvent the background check process associated with purchasing a handgun in Pennsylvania because he knew he is a person not permitted to possess a firearm," Smith alleged.

Police said Hart signed the federal and state firearms purchase forms using the Philadelphia man's name and biographical information.

"It should be noted both forms clearly state providing false information is punishable by law," Smith wrote in the arrest affidavit.

SOUTH JERSEY   Two people who impersonated police as they conducted robberies throughout South Jersey have been apprehended, according to the Camden County Prosecutor's Office (CCPO).

Shanndoah Gray and Michael Ficara showed badges and identified themselves as officers when they approached victims   some of whom they robbed   authorities said. Gray, 51, was arrested Wednesday in Lindenwold, where he lives. Ficara, 39, of Mount Royal, is in Salem County Jail on unrelated charges.

Here's what happened during each incident, according to the CCPO:

Gloucester Township

At about 9 p.m. Sept. 19, the suspects   later identified as Gray and Ficara   used a red sedan to pull over a victim on Little Gloucester Road. The pair approached the victim and identified themselves as officers. One of the suspects grabbed the victim by the shirt and stole cash from him.

Winslow

The duo tried to stop a vehicle at about 4:45 a.m. Sept. 28 on Waterford Road and Route 73. The victim pulled over, and the suspects approached him and identified themselves as police.

Gray and Ficara claimed the victim was a robbery suspect. The victim claimed he wasn't comfortable and requested a marked unit show up. As a result, the suspects fled the area.

Washington Township

Just after 9 p.m. that same day, Gray and Ficara tried to stop an occupied vehicle parked behind the Kohl's Plaza. The suspects flashed their high beams, yelled at the victims to turn off their car and displayed a badge.

The victims drove away. Shortly thereafter, Gray and Ficara burglarized a nearby, unoccupied vehicle and stole a wallet with credit cards inside.

Deptford

At about 10:45 p.m. that night, Deptford police responded to a report of two suspects approaching an occupied vehicle at Almonesson Creek Park. The suspects had identified themselves as officers and attempted to question the driver.

The victim didn't believe the suspects, so they called 911 and drove out of the park.

Lindenwold

Officers responded to a report of possible law-enforcement impersonators at about 9:45 p.m. Sept. 30 at the 700 block of E Elm Avenue. Upon arrival, Lindenwold police found two victims who reported they were approached by two male suspects.

The suspects, dressed as plain-clothes officers, searched the victims and stole money from them. When one of the victims confronted them, one suspect displayed a small handgun, which turned out to be an imitation firearm.

Three people are dead after a stabbing at a park
  One of the deceased is believed to have killed the other two victims
  Investigators are looking for witnesses and surveillance footage

 A new study says the safest place to live is in the Northeast, but it's not NJ
 'Financial safety' brings down NJ's score
 NJ still performs better than some neighboring states

New Jersey has a greater police presence than any other state, but it doesn't even make the top third in a new list of the safest states in the country.

On WalletHub's 2023 list, New Jersey ranks as the 18th safest state to live. New York ranks at No. 26, and Pennsylvania sits at No. 29.

The man, homeless and believed to be living in the woods in Bayville, was found at the front door of a Harbor Inn Road home, police said.

The man had arrived at the home via a golf cart and was "acting in a threatening manner," according to police. The caller did not know the man and did not interact with him, instead watching him on a doorbell camera, police said

He was visibly agitated and police believed he may be drunk, they said. The man became "extremely irate" and refused to calm down, threatening violence against the officers, police said.

Police used "enhanced mechanical force" - a Taser - on the man, and were able to get him onto the ground and handcuff him. No one was injured during this, according to police.

Town Topics, November 15, 2023.

A 17-year-old resident of Sicklerville is facing charges of carjacking after a daring attempt to steal a man's car outside the Jersey Bagel convenience store in Winslow took a dramatic turn on Monday morning.

However, the quick-thinking owner, who had just exited the store, noticed the theft in progress and leaped into the passenger seat in an attempt to thwart the carjacking.

A struggle ensued between the car owner and the 17-year-old suspect, resulting in the vehicle colliding with two other cars near the bagel shop. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in the incident.

The teenager was subsequently charged with carjacking and taken into custody. He has been sent to the Camden County Juvenile Detention Center to await further legal proceedings.

Law enforcement officials commend the car owner's bravery and emphasize the importance of remaining vigilant, especially in public places. The incident serves as a reminder for residents to take precautions, such as turning off and securing their vehicles when left unattended, to deter opportunistic crimes.

On the evening of Aug. 22, 2022, Powell, Diaz and Porter robbed a Passaic bodega of several thousand dollars while pointing their guns at a victim and threatening to kill him. Later that same evening, Powell, Diaz and Porter also robbed a Paterson business of several thousand dollars. During both robberies, Powell, Diaz and Porter menaced customers with handguns and ordered them to lie on the ground.

On the evening of Aug. 23, 2022, Diaz and Porter robbed a Passaic liquor store of several thousand dollars at gunpoint. While inside the store, Porter used his gun to pistol-whip a victim on the face. Later that evening, Diaz and Porter committed an additional gunpoint robbery of a business in Paterson. While inside the store, Porter pushed one victim and wrestled with a different victim, dragging the victim to the floor while attempting to take the victim's handbag.

A solid takeaway here is that firearms are not going to be the answer to all problems when dealing with the criminal element. It's important however to highlight that if a citizen or worker at that first bodega was armed, we might be looking at a different narrative today.

TRENTON, NJ   New Jersey officials today expressed grave concerns about the rising incidence of mass shootings across the state as the holiday season approaches. This year, New Jersey has witnessed twelve mass shootings, defined as incidents where three or more individuals are shot. These events have resulted in 51 people being shot and seven fatalities.

The majority of these shootings occurred in the state's largest cities: Jersey City, Paterson, Newark, and Trenton. Each city experienced multiple incidents, with Trenton, Newark, and Paterson each reporting three mass shootings.

Here is the list of mass shootings that Governor Phil Murphy does not want you to know about in New Jersey.

GLASSBORO, NJ   A man has been charged after a backyard gunfire exchange that turned fatal in Glassboro   but not with a violent crime   officials said Tuesday.

Brian K. Barnes and Sidney Garcia had a dispute Oct. 20 that resulted in both Glassboro men firing their weapons, according to the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office (GCPO). Barnes was shot and wounded, but Garcia later succumbed to his injuries from a gunshot wound to the chest, authorities said.

New Jersey law enforcement agencies are raising the alarm over a disturbing new trend of 'occupied' home burglaries. These thefts occur when residents are at home, marking a worrying shift in the approach of thieves who are becoming increasingly aggressive in their pursuit of items such as luxury car key fobs.

BRICK: Police are searching for 4 Hispanic men wanted in connection of a Car Jacking. The incident occurred at 445 Brick Boulevard around 12:40 pm today. Subjects are described as 4 Hispanic males wearing masks and armed with a knife. They left the scene in a dark colored Audi.
