Trenton NJ, Acting Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin and New Jersey State Police Superintendent Colonel Patrick J. Callahan today warned residents about a serious spike in motor vehicle thefts across the state, while noting that stolen vehicles are frequently used to commit other violent crimes. To address this growing concern, the New Jersey State Police and Division of Criminal Justice are expanding the Auto Theft Task Force by adding additional detectives and prosecutors, as well as bringing on board additional police departments from around the state.
