Teen Arrested

According to the Ocean County Prosecutor, on August 4, 2023, a 17 year-old juvenile from Seaside Heights was charged with Theft of Moveable Property, Eluding, Obstruction, and Resisting Arrest by Means of Flight.

The Jackson Township Police Department sent officers to the neighborhood of Imperial Place on August 3, 2023, at about 10:45 p.m., in response to a complaint of two stolen cars. At the crossroads of Leesville Road and Freehold Road, Jackson Township police officers saw the stolen cars going northwest. This was at 11:00 pm.

Officers attempted to effectuate a motor vehicle stop as the vehicles attempted to flee. A few seconds later, one of the stolen vehicles operated by the 17 year-old juvenile lost control and crashed into a tree - bursting into flames.

Following the crash, the juvenile attempted to flee on foot but was apprehended. The juvenile was taken into custody and is presently detained in the Ocean County Juvenile Detention Center.
