Teens Charged with Criminal Trespass, Pipe Possession in Franklin Lakes

Five local teens were arrested after police say they found them trespassing with a drug pipe at a friend's parents' house  Saturday night.

Cops found the three 17-year-olds and and two 18-year-olds on the property of a Pulis Avenue home after someone reported suspicious activity at the residence, according to Lieutenant John Bakelaar.

The teens, two females and three males, never entered the friend's home, Bakelaar said, but were detained and charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and criminal trespass.

"They chose the house because they were friends with the homeowner’s son," Bakelaar said. 

The juveniles were released to their parents' custody and the charges against the juveniles will be forwarded to the Bergen County Family Court, Franklin Lakes Police said.

Sgt. William Cook and Officers Denny Knubel, Richard Osenbruck and Jon Rynander investigated the incident.
