On Sunday, August 11, 2024 at approximately 1:45 AM, Absecon Police received the report of several individuals attempting to burglarize numerous vehicles in their jurisdiction. It was reported that the suspects were operating a Dodge Journey and were headed in the direction of Galloway Township. Galloway Police were able to locate the Dodge and attempted to conduct a motor vehicle stop in the area of Route 30 and 8th Avenue. The Dodge initially stopped, and then pulled away as police approached the vehicle.

Upon checking the area, police were able to locate the Dodge on the 300 block of Arbutus Avenue. The vehicle was reported stolen out of Atlantic City, and all suspects had fled from the scene. Galloway and Absecon Police worked together to coordinate a perimeter in an attempt to locate the suspects. Utilizing surveillance footage from a nearby home, as well as assistance from K-9 Narco, a thorough search of the area began. During a search that spanned several hours, Absecon and Galloway Police were able to locate all four suspects hiding in various locations.

“This was very impressive work from both the Galloway Township and Absecon City Police Departments”, said Chief Richard D. Barber. “This coordination and teamwork between our departments is another example of how collaboration with other law enforcement agencies can lead to positive results.”

The suspects arrested in this case include a 12 year old male from Atlantic City, a 14 year old male from Atlantic City, and two 13 year old males from Atlantic City. All four juveniles were charged with numerous crimes and released to their guardians pending a future court date.

The Galloway and Absecon Police Departments would like to remind our citizens to keep their vehicles locked and report any suspicious activity.
