Cops say state police video links Daniel Chaupiz, 20, to a stolen Jeep. Chaupiz is still incarcerated for his alleged involvement in the beating of a 19-year-old Ridgewood man earlier this year.
Wyckoff Police said they used state police records to connect a Wyckoff man already in Bergen County Jail with the 2011 theft of a jeep from a Harvey Court home.

Police chief baffled by residents leaving doors unlocked: "I'm at the point that I just shake my head and say to myself — I don't get it."

The woman called the cops after discovering that the goods were missing.

They might as well have put a sign on the windshield that said "take me!!" Please let's enact some laws that say there is a charge for this type of behavior. more ›
