Hawthorne NJ, Several Hawthorne Police units were dispatched in connection with a Sunday afternoon, 03/22, 911 telephone call reporting a “disturbance” at the Jembro Store, 111 Wagaraw Road, Hawthorne. Arriving officers quickly determined that the “disturbance,” verbal in nature only, was resultant from a misunderstanding between a manager and employee, with no police action required. However, officers noted that the Jembro Store, and another store in the same strip mall, were both open in direct violation of NJ Governor Phil Murphy’s “essential retail businesses only” proclamation. Police ordered both stores to be vacated and closed immediately. No summonses were issued.
