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. - Follow to keep in the local loop #bergencounty #bergencountynj #northjerseynews #njnews #teanecknj

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. - Looking to find/host local events in your town?

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. - Follow for more updates in Monmouth County #monmouthcounty #monmouthcountynj #centraljersey #njnews #manalapannj

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. - 🎥 @sussexvisibilitybrigade Follow to stay in the local loop #morriscounty #morriscountynj #njnews #northjerseynews #roxburynj

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. - Follow to stay in the loop #morriscounty #morriscountynj #njnews #northjerseynews #roxburynj

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. - Follow for more #local news #monmouthcounty #monmouthcountynj #njnews #jerseyshore #lincroftnj #townsofnewjersey

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. - Follow for more local news #bergencounty #hudsoncountynj #morriscountynj #essexcountynj #northjerseynews #njnews #townsofnewjersey

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. - Follow for more #local news #morriscounty #morriscountynj #northjerseynews #njnews #andovernj #randolphnj #townsofnewjersey

What are your thoughts? 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. - Happy April Fools Day from @towns_of #monmouthcounty #monmouthcountynj #centraljersey

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. - Follow for more #local news + events #bergencounty #bergencountynj #northjerseynews #njnews #montvalenj #townsofnewjersey

Have you heard? A former New Jersey special education teacher is suing the Marlboro Township school district, several officials, and parents of a student, claiming false accusations ruined her career after she was wrongly accused of harassment. Jenna Sciabica, a 16-year teaching veteran, filed the federal lawsuit on Nov. 6, alleging that a “brief, innocent interaction” with a student in a school hallway in March 2024 was “deliberately distorted” into a criminal case. Sciabica was charged with harassment for allegedly touching the student inappropriately but was acquitted in November 2024 after a bench trial. According to the complaint, Sciabica merely made a joking comment to the student about a dance dress fitting and lightly tapped her upper chest, which was later misreported by another teacher as “groping.” She says school officials and the student’s parents exaggerated the encounter, resulting in her suspension, resignation, and public vilification. Sciabica claims the ordeal cost her her tenure, pension, and reputation, as she faced online harassment and threats. The lawsuit names Marlboro Township Public Schools, multiple administrators, the township, the student’s parents Wendi and Salvatore Turturici, their attorney, and two insurers. She is seeking damages, back pay, pension restoration, and a jury trial, arguing the case violated her civil rights and destroyed her livelihood. - Follow for more #local news + events #monmouthcounty #monmouthcountynj #njnews #centraljersey #marlboronj #townsofnewjersey

What are your thoughts? A 4-acre lot at the corner of West Ridgewood Avenue and Paramus Road — long home to a local garden center and once the site of a historic Revolutionary-era home and gristmill — has been sold to Liger Crossing, LLC. The developer plans to restore the historic house for use as a small office and build a 40-unit townhome development on the property, located at 143 W. Ridgewood Avenue. Previous plans in 2021 proposed a CVS and a bank on the combined corner parcels, but those never moved forward. NAI James E. Hanson, which handled the sale, said demand for development-ready land in Paramus remains high, noting the property’s rare size, flexible zoning, and proximity to major residential and healthcare hubs. The site sits along the Saddle River, directly across from the Ridgewood Duck Pond, with access to the county park’s six-mile trail system. - Follow for more #local stories + events #bergencounty #bergencountynj #northjerseynews #njnews #ridgewoodnj #townsofnewjersey

Have you heard? A Morris County man has been arrested in connection with an illegal gambling ring linked to organized crime, according to the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office. Nicholas Raimo, 25, of East Hanover, is one of 14 people charged in a sports betting operation allegedly run by Joseph M. “Little Joe” Perna, 55, of Fairfield — believed to be a soldier in the Lucchese crime family. Several of Perna’s relatives and associates were also charged. State Police launched the investigation in January 2024 and found the enterprise was based in Essex and Bergen counties. Authorities say the ring moved roughly $2 million in gambling proceeds between 2022 and 2024. Raimo is accused of acting as a high-level agent who managed his own sportsbooks within the operation. He faces charges including racketeering, conspiracy, promoting gambling, possession of gambling records, and money laundering. If convicted on all counts, he could face up to 60 years in prison and more than $800,000 in fines. - Follow for more #local news #morriscounty #morriscountynj #njnews #northjerseynews #easthanovernj #townsofnewjersey
