New Jersey Freepers: What do you know?
Glock makes a 30 round mag. Just saying.
New Jersey arrested them? They must not have been wearing masks.
18 person mob involved in home invasions? Time to get some spare magazines at home! (And I don’t mean Better Homes and Garden)
I grew up in Northern Jersey. This place is way down south, near Vineland, well southeast of PA. This vigilante group looks “racially diverse” only in the sense that none of them look white.
sticks out the back of my coat :)
this is crazy
See if anything interest you here.
Obviously this mob of miscreants was behind the home invasion and all the other crime in this community.
Yeah, but there are NJ sources.
I’m talking about national attention.
This is some major gang activity.
I wouldn’t feel comfortable renting a trailer in that park.
Well, at least it was a diverse mob.
Diversity is our strength...../s
This is an out of control story.
I don’t know why I still get shocked though
Diversity + Proximity = Problems.
I lost all four of mine when the boat went down.

For me it would all depend. How much ground do you get around your trailer! And does Amazon sell land mines?
33 round. I have a few in my nighstand.

PITTSGROVE, New Jersey — New Jersey State Police on Friday arrested 10 additional suspects in the violent ambush of a state trooper at a South Jersey trailer park.
They join four other members of a “lawless caravan” that traveled to the Harding Woods trailer park in Pittsgrove, Salem County, on April 25 to allegedly attack a woman who had been robbed earlier that day, according to State Attorney General Gubir Grewal.
When the group arrived, they confronted State Police Detective Richard Hershey, who was there investigating the earlier home invasion. They started a gunfight with Hershey, hitting him in the leg and causing serious injury, Grewal said.
The suspects arrested Friday are: Markese Rogers, 25, of Pittsgrove; Aisha McArthur, 25, and Rovell L. McArthur Jr., 26, both from Vineland; and Jenislen Quiles, 19, Shakeem Waters, 31, Thomas Nieves III, 30, Chayana Diaz, 22, Ashley Diaz-Acevedo, 22, Melissa Romero, 22, and Noel Lazu, 20, all of Bridgeton.
All have been charged with conspiracy to commit aggravated assault and rioting.
“We made a promise to our citizens and fellow law enforcement officers that we would apprehend every last member of the cowardly mob that nearly killed Detective Richard Hershey, and I am pleased to announce today that we are making good on that promise,” said Col. Patrick J. Callahan, superintendent of the New Jersey State Police. “We will not rest until every suspect is brought to justice and held accountable for their actions.”
Authorities said the incident began around 6 p.m., when five women forced their way into a home in the park on Route 40, assaulted a woman, and stole her iPhone.
The victim was treated for a broken rib and a lacerated lung. Authorities said she had a dispute with the women, and was familiar with at least two of her assailants and was able to identify them.
Grewal said one of the women, identified as Iramari Lazu, 22, allegedly returned to the trailer park with the caravan and planned to continue the assault. A motive for the attack was not disclosed.
The three alleged shooters — Najzeir “Naz” Hutchings, 21, Tremaine M. Hadden, 27, and Kareen “Kai” Warner Jr., 19, all of Bridgeton — were arrested after the incident and charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault of a police officer, and weapons offenses. A fourth suspect, Colby Opperman, 18, also of Bridgeton, was arrested days later, and charged with weapons offenses.
