Glen Rock NJ, a masked suspect attempting to steal vehicles in a quiet Glen Rock neighborhood led police on a high-speed chase last Monday morning, according to local authorities.
The incident occurred just before 6 a.m. on Garvey Place and Gaynor Place, after a resident from neighboring Fair Lawn reported seeing a masked man trying to break into cars.
Masked Suspect Flees in Stolen BMW SUV
Upon arrival, Glen Rock Police Sgt. Trover located a silver BMW SUV, later confirmed to be stolen, parked on Gaynor Place. Officers observed a masked man entering the vehicle’s passenger side.
When Sgt. Trover attempted to stop the vehicle, the suspects fled at high speed onto Glenfair Road. Due to safety concerns for other motorists, the pursuit was terminated near Saddle River Road and Fair Lawn Avenue.

Later that morning, a Driscoll Place resident also reported an attempted theft of their BMW SUV around 5:30 a.m. Police believe the two incidents are connected, and likely involve the same suspects.
The case is now under active investigation by the Glen Rock Police Detective Bureau.

And it continues! Ridgewood has been hit multiple times the past 2 mths w early morning home break-ins to secure car keys.
Gaynor place is behind Turvino’s. The cops shops should have tasered the perp before he got into the car.
Why would any police department in the area do a high-speed pursuit for a stolen car, it’s dangerous it’s stupid beard. Someone can get hurt killed over a stolen car. Not necessary. I could understand if someone’s health or well-being is at stake that’s it. This is not LA Where they go use 10 cars for high speed pursuit, and damage everything
YEAH.
we should let the criminals get their way.
A few years ago, when the police were not allowed to chase people for much….Crime went up in our area. Car thefts went way up. Burglaries went way up.
They weren’t caught and they WILL do it again. It’s time to get tough with these perps. I wish the police officers would just shoot to kill these punks. Problem solved…
Catching them will not stop them, stop your police bullshit. You just wanna chase them because you’re bored. so that means if you’re at a high speed pursuit chasing someone because they stole a car and you have a blowout on your piece of shit, Ford Explorer and you crash and hit a tree or a telephone pole and your body is all fucked up and you can’t go back to work anymore. Than watch trying to be a hero for a stolen car get a fucking life. I could see if it was something real important like they stole a car with a baby in it or a kid that’s different. Some of you think you’re in Los Angeles PD. Please stop.
Bull shit
