JERSEY CITY, NJ – Early morning on Saturday, at about 3:30 a.m., officers were alerted to a series of car burglaries after a resident reported an attempted break-in into her vehicle.
Surveillance footage captured a man trying to access multiple parked vehicles on the street.
Officers arrived to the vicinity of Gesner & Laurita St, where they spotted four teenagers, aged between 12-15, standing by an open car door.
Despite orders to halt, the group attempted to flee, leading to a brief confrontation and subsequent arrest. The teenagers now face charges of third-degree burglary.
