Ridgewood NJ, Over the last several weeks, there have been many cars which have been left unlocked and many of them have the key fob in them. At times, the actors take belongings and money from cars, and other times, they steal the car.
The Ridgewood Police Department is asking for help from the public to PLEASE lock your homes and cars and remove any valuables and keys or key fobs. We do not want any police officers or civilians injured or killed in an attempt to catch the actors. The actors will move to other areas if they are unable to locate unlocked vehicles or find anything of value.

” It’s funny that when the previous council majority (Paul, Albert, Gwen) are rightly blamed for the over development and false studies on school, anonymous comments blame the current council too.
The fact is that no new development was approved by the current council, the same people who were behind the previous majority to get developments approved now make noise about them and make it appear like the current council did it because they know that the village majority is against over development and their candidates are losing just by association. “
