Here is the first report by Neighborhood Watch since the hurricane. Our police liaison officer, Michael Adam, passes along the following:
- There have been several more reports of lawn ornaments being removed from people’s property.
- A business on Main Avenue was left unlocked, and someone entered and took some items.
- A resident reported a suspicious person in the area of Clark Avenue during the mid-day hours. Officers responded and located the subject, who, upon investigation, was found to be in possession of stolen items from an Ocean Grove home. He was arrested.
Officer Adam’s comment: “This is a great example of a resident reporting a suspicious subject.” He continues to urge that residents be diligent in reporting suspicious behavior.
Adam also said he hopes “all of the residents are doing well after the storm. If anyone has any questions or is in need of assistance, please contact the Neptune Township Police Department at 732-988-8000.”
