Police: Resident Chases Away Would-be Thief

The Wall Township Police Department is looking for a man who entered an unlocked car parked in an unlocked garage off 18th Avenue Friday night before being chased off by the car's owner.

The incident occurred around 8:37 p.m. Friday near Kimberly Drive, Sgt. Todd Czech said. 

A man described as a white male in his 40s or 50s, standing about 5-foot 5-inches tall and wearing a baseball cap entered an unlocked vehicle parked in an unsecured garage of his home.  The resident confronted the man, who ran away, Czech said. 

Anyone with information that could be useful to this investigation is urged to contact the Wall Township Police Department at 732-449-4500. 

The Wall Police also remind residents throughout to be alert of suspicious people or vehicles in their neighborhoods and to lock their homes and vehicles. Residents are asked to contact the Police Department immediately to report any suspicious activity, Czech said.
