Have you seen this man? 

The owner of a Lark Street Music in Teaneck is asking the public for help after a man was caught on surveillance video stealing two rare mandolins from the shop.

The theft happened the afternoon of Dec. 22, when the suspect removed two mandolins from the wall, hid them inside his winter coat, and walked out of the store. Owner Bernard Levine said the instruments — a 1949 Gibson F-12 and a Weber Yellowstone — are valued at $8,000 to $9,000 and are not commonly found in music stores.

After noticing the instruments were missing, Levine reviewed security footage and reported the theft to police. He later shared the video on social media in hopes someone recognizes the suspect or the stolen instruments.

Have you heard?

The incident happened May 3 at Lake Henry in Continental Soldiers Park, where police say the animal charged and bit an 8-year-old boy who was fishing near the shoreline. Authorities later learned the beaver had also approached or attacked other visitors earlier in the day.

Animal control officers captured the beaver after it showed signs of illness, and testing later confirmed it had rabies. Anyone who may have come into contact with the animal is being urged to seek medical attention and contact the Mahwah Township Health Department.

Officials reminded residents to avoid wildlife, noting that any warm-blooded animal can carry rabies. While beavers are generally not aggressive toward humans, experts say unusual behavior can occur if the animal is sick, threatened, or infected with rabies.

What we know👇

Teresa Dunsheath, a New Jersey woman, has issued a public apology after a viral video showed her hurling antisemitism at a Jewish family following a minor traffic crash in Manalapan on Christmas Day.

The incident occurred near the Manalapan Police Station after the family was rear-ended while stopped at a red light. Video shared online by one of the victims shows Dunsheath standing outside their vehicle and repeatedly making antisemitic remarks, even as she appeared aware she was being recorded.

The family said the crash happened after the other driver was distracted by an unsecured dog. They described the confrontation as shocking and said it has heightened safety concerns within the local Jewish community.

After the video spread widely on social media, Dunsheath released a written apology, saying she was “deeply ashamed,” accepted full responsibility, and acknowledged that nothing justified her behavior. She asked that her family not be harassed as a result.

As of the latest update, Manalapan police have not said whether the incident is being reviewed as a bias-related case or whether any charges will be filed.

What are your thoughts? 

ICE is considering a 470,000-square-foot vacant warehouse off Route 46 in Roxbury as a potential site for a new immigrant detention center, triggering rapid pushback from local officials and advocacy groups.

According to organizers, a leaked ICE document revealed the exact address of the proposed site and a 9 a.m. site visit scheduled with less than 12 hours’ notice. By early morning, multiple organizations were on the ground conducting surveillance to confirm the visit and document activity. Black SUVs believed to be carrying federal officials were spotted outside the warehouse as the tour took place.

Township leaders said they were not notified in advance. After learning of the visit, Roxbury officials and the police chief went to the site and met with ICE representatives and the building owner to raise concerns about public safety, traffic, limited police and volunteer fire resources, and water and sewer capacity.

The night before the visit, the Roxbury Township Council unanimously passed a resolution opposing an ICE detention center in the township. Demonstrators from the No ICE North Jersey Alliance also protested near the site along Route 46.

Advocacy groups say their next step is to press the Town Council to change zoning ordinances immediately to block the project before it advances. Township officials said site selection is still months away but emphasized transparency and resident safety as priorities. The warehouse, built just a few years ago, remains vacant. ICE and leasing agents did not immediately comment.

From today👇

The New Jersey Attorney General’s Office is investigating a firearm discharge involving U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Roxbury Township on Monday morning.

Acting Attorney General Jennifer Davenport said the incident involved ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations unit and happened around 7 a.m. in the Landing section of the township. No injuries were reported.

Witnesses said the incident occurred on Landing Road near the Lake Hopatcong Foundation building. A dashcam video posted online appears to show an officer pointing a gun at a man who had exited a pickup truck and was ordered to get on the ground.

Davenport said the scene was secured with help from the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office and the Morris County Sheriff’s Office, and that the state’s Office of Public Integrity and Accountability is conducting an independent investigation.

The incident shut down Landing Road for much of the day and sparked widespread rumors online. Officials said the investigation is ongoing.

What are your thoughts? 

A former church official in Monmouth County has been charged with embezzling more than $500,000 from the Church of Saint Leo the Great in Lincroft, authorities announced.

Joseph A. Manzi, 78, of Atlantic Highlands, allegedly used church credit cards and cash funds for personal expenses while serving as the church’s director of finance, operations, and development. His employment ended in June 2025 after an internal audit uncovered financial irregularities, triggering a state investigation.

According to the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office, Manzi spent over $300,000 on church credit cards and diverted about $200,000 in cash between 2019 and 2025. The alleged spending included a Cadillac SUV, luxury clothing, home repairs, medical bills, fishing trips, and sports tickets.

Attorney General Matthew Platkin said Manzi “used his position of trust to live a more lavish lifestyle,” adding that such conduct “will not be tolerated.”

Manzi was charged with second-degree theft by unlawful taking, which carries a possible sentence of five to ten years in prison and a fine of up to $150,000. The case is being prosecuted by the state Division of Criminal Justice, with assistance from local authorities.

What are your thoughts? 

President Donald Trump announced he is terminating the Gateway Project, a multibillion-dollar plan to construct a new rail tunnel between New Jersey and Manhattan.

At a White House event, Trump said the project — long championed by Sen. Chuck Schumer — would be “terminated on a permanent basis,” calling it a waste of “billions and billions of dollars.” The decision follows the federal government’s withdrawal of funding for the project 15 days earlier, during the ongoing shutdown.

Schumer slammed the move on X, calling Gateway “the most important infrastructure project in America,” and describing Trump’s decision as “pure spite and stupidity.”

Sen. Cory Booker and Rep. Andy Kim issued a joint statement calling the move “a direct attack on New Jersey,” emphasizing that the project has historically enjoyed bipartisan support.

Gov. Phil Murphy’s office declined to comment.

Have you heard?

A 28-year-old Roselle man was arrested last week after allegedly kidnapping a woman from the County College of Morris and holding her handcuffed inside his car, authorities said.

The case began Dec. 5 after the woman’s parents reported her missing when she failed to pick up her children and could not be reached. Police traced her last location to the college in Randolph, where officers found her car and a damaged phone. Surveillance footage showed a man later identified as Akram Elsayed approaching her and leaving the parking lot in his vehicle.

Later that night, police located Elsayed’s car in Andover Township and arrested him after a multi-agency pursuit. Officers found the woman handcuffed inside the vehicle and recovered a handgun near the driver’s door. She was taken to a hospital for evaluation.

Elsayed faces numerous charges, including kidnapping, carjacking, burglary, and multiple counts of aggravated sexual assault, and is being held at the Morris County Correctional Facility. Prosecutors said the incident was targeted and posed no ongoing threat to students or staff.

Madison Marquette has announced plans to redevelop Convention Hall into a cruise ship docking terminal for large vessels, framing the project as a tribute to the SS Morro Castle, the ocean liner that caught fire and ran aground off Asbury Park in 1934.

The plan would transform the historic oceanfront venue into a departure point for regional cruises, alongside retail, dining, and a maritime exhibit tied to the shipwreck.

Developers say the project honors a defining moment in the city’s history, while some locals question whether a cruise terminal is the right way to memorialize a tragedy.

Construction is set to begin on April 1, 2027.

Bergen County officials are facing criticism for not lowering flags to half-staff in honor of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk, despite a presidential proclamation ordering the gesture nationwide.

Kirk, co-founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot on September 10 during a public speaking event at Utah Valley University. The White House directive, issued Friday, called for flags on federal buildings to be lowered “as a mark of respect.”

The decision drew backlash from some residents and political commentators, who accused the county of ignoring the proclamation. 

However, responses in comment sections pushed back, arguing that Kirk was not a veteran or elected official and was widely known for spreading hate, making him an inappropriate figure for such an honor.

Bergen County kept its flags at full staff, citing state policy. “Bergen County’s policy is to follow the State of New Jersey’s daily flag status,” officials wrote on Facebook, noting the state order for that day was “full staff.”

A Rockaway Township teacher has resigned after receiving death threats in the wake of a Facebook post about Charlie Kirk.

The Board of Education confirmed the resignation of Elizabeth McFarland Clark, a fifth-grade math teacher at Katherine D. Malone Elementary, during its Sept. 17 meeting. Her Sept. 10 post, written the day of Kirk’s assassination in Utah, included the phrase “Some people have to die - buh bye.”

Clark said her personal information was doxxed within 20 minutes, leading to online harassment, circulation of photos of her daughter, and threats to her life. She told the Daily Record she stepped down because she feared for her safety and believed her presence at school could endanger students.

Meanwhile, some locals say police should be doing more to protect free speech, arguing that threats and online intimidation are creating a chilling effect for residents who speak out publicly.

Not very girlboss👇

Two women from New York were charged after allegedly stealing more than $9,000 worth of clothing from multiple stores at @westfieldgsp in Paramus.

Police said mall security and officers observed the women making repeated trips between stores and a parked SUV, identifying the activity as an organized retail theft operation. Loss prevention officers from @lululemon and @aloyoga reported the suspects concealed merchandise and left without paying. Police also recovered stolen items from @aritzia.

Authorities seized burglary tools used to disable security tags, along with foil-lined bags commonly used to evade detection. The total value of recovered merchandise was $9,144, police said.

Jenai D. Crawford, 25, of Yonkers, and Shanique M. Roberts, 30, of Brooklyn, were each charged with second-degree shoplifting, receiving stolen property, and possession of burglar tools. Both were released on summonses and are scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 2.

Not very girlboss👇 Two women from New York were charged after allegedly stealing more than $9,000 worth of clothing from multiple stores at @westfieldgsp in Paramus. Police said mall security and officers observed the women making repeated trips between stores and a parked SUV, identifying the activity as an organized retail theft operation. Loss prevention officers from @lululemon and @aloyoga reported the suspects concealed merchandise and left without paying. Police also recovered stolen items from @aritzia. Authorities seized burglary tools used to disable security tags, along with foil-lined bags commonly used to evade detection. The total value of recovered merchandise was $9,144, police said. Jenai D. Crawford, 25, of Yonkers, and Shanique M. Roberts, 30, of Brooklyn, were each charged with second-degree shoplifting, receiving stolen property, and possession of burglar tools. Both were released on summonses and are scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 2. - Follow for more #local news + events #bergencounty #bergencountynj #northjerseynews #njnews #paramusnj #townsofnewjersey
What are your thoughts?

Neptune Township has voted to end its 30-year practice of locking gates on two pedestrian bridges connecting Ocean Grove to Asbury Park.

The Township Committee voted 4-1 on Monday to overturn the 1995 resolution, which had required the gates to be locked nightly from 12am-5am. The bridges span Wesley Lake and link Ocean Grove within Neptune to Asbury Park.

Officials originally cited crime concerns when the policy was adopted in 1995, but the gates have long faced criticism as unnecessary and divisive. The decision to keep them locked had grown increasingly contentious in recent years, with some critics alleging racial motivations behind the policy.

Some Ocean Grove residents have voiced concern that unlocking the gates could worsen parking shortages, as visitors and workers from Asbury Park may take advantage of free parking in the neighborhood.

The gates are now open permanently, effective immediately.

Have you heard?

@traderjoes & @shakeshack are looking to open new locations in Montvale, according to Mayor Mike Ghassali. Their applications — along with proposals from @honeygrow and @CAVA — will be reviewed at the Montvale Planning Board meeting on Dec. 2.

All four businesses are seeking approval to open at the Chestnut Ridge Shopping Center on Chestnut Ridge Road.

Residents quickly chimed in on Facebook, raising concerns about traffic on Woodmont Drive and asking whether the existing Fresh Market will remain. Across the border in Rockland County, locals joked about being jealous that Montvale might land several major brands at once.

The Planning Board will meet at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 2, where the applications will be formally heard.
