A Jersey Shore pizzeria is facing major online backlash after photos surfaced showing Nazi and extremist imagery inside the restaurant.

@franconispizza, a longtime staple on the #WildwoodBoardwalk for over 20 years, became the center of controversy over the weekend after several Reddit users posted photos of what appeared to be the restaurant’s kitchen.

One image showed a refrigerator inside the kitchen covered in offensive political and extremist stickers. 

Among them were SS bolts and a Totenkopf — both symbols associated with Hitler’s paramilitary Schutzstaffel, and commonly used by neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups today. Other visible stickers included a Confederate flag, several pro-Trump decals, and one that read “Fuck Joe Biden.”

A man from #Holmdel is facing serious charges after attempting to steal a Pride flag from @mainstdonuts in #MatawanNJ and making nazi salutes. The incident, which occurred just before noon on Saturday, was caught on camera and shows the suspect, dressed in a trump hat and wig, making Nazi salutes and shouting Nazi propaganda.

Joe Rizzuto, the store's owner, confronted the man during the incident. The man later drove by and threatened to burn down the business. Rizzuto described the experience as horrifying and emotionally rattling.

61-year-old Maciej Wojciak of #HolmdelNJ, has been charged with bias intimidation, terroristic threats, criminal mischief, and disorderly conduct. He is currently being held at #MonmouthCounty jail.

The local community quickly rallied in support. @mainstdonuts was packed the next day, selling out before noon, with customers leaving messages of love and acceptance on the shop windows. Rizzuto, joined by his husband and their 17-year-old son Luke, fulfilled a busy day of orders.

"If you don't like my flag, don't come to my shop," Rizzuto said. "That flag is going out again. I'm proud of who I am."

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.

Heroic AF

An 8-year-old child was saved Monday after jumping from the second floor of a burning home in Asbury Park and into the arms of two police officers and a neighbor, authorities said.

Police Officers Dewitt Bacon and John Walsh, along with local resident Joseph Dunbar, caught the child after urging them to leap from the Prospect Avenue home. Video released Tuesday shows the moment the child pushed out the window screen before jumping to safety.

“Asbury Park police officers train for fast-moving, dangerous situations, and yesterday’s rescue shows the value of that training and the strength of our community,” said Police Director John B. Hayes.

Hayes praised the bravery of everyone involved, noting the child’s courage in making the jump. No further injuries were reported.

Have you heard? 

A thoroughbred racehorse named Hawkstone escaped #MonmouthPark Racetrack yesterday. The horse was spotted trotting down the westbound lanes of Route 36 and stunning drivers before being safely captured.

Trainer Cal Lynch said Hawkstone was spooked and slipped away from his handler through an open gate — something he called “out of character” for the typically calm horse. Lynch expressed concern that the stable gate had been left open, saying it put both the horse and public in danger.

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?

Montvale police released a dramatic video showing a 15-year-old e-bike rider slamming into a car to highlight the dangers of reckless riding.

The July 18 crash occurred when a car made a legal left turn out of a gas station and the teen, estimated to be traveling 40 mph, struck the vehicle’s side and flipped onto its roof, Chief Douglas McDowell said. The boy was taken to Hackensack University Medical Center for treatment.

McDowell said summonses may be issued to both the teen and the driver. The department shared the video as a warning about the risks of high-speed e-bike riding.

Have you been?

A BP gas station in #KeyportNJ is at the center of a growing local controversy after drivers reported their cars broke down shortly after filling up.

The station, located on Clark Road just off the #GardenStateParkway, has now shut down all of its gas pumps.

One of the affected drivers, said her Honda Civic stalled shortly after she left the BP. "I went from 60 to 40 in 2 seconds on the parkway, and it's absolutely terrifying," she said. Her mechanic told her the car's tank contained 12 gallons of water.

#Keyport PD Chief Michael Ferm confirmed the department had taken 10 reports as of Thursday afternoon. The Office of Weights and Measures has launched an investigation, and complaints are continuing to surface online.

BP is reportedly working with affected drivers. At least one customer reported a repair bill of $1,700. Chief Ferm urged anyone who believes they received contaminated fuel to file a report with the police.

The source of the contamination has not been officially confirmed.

New Jersey Sinkhole Update👇

Work continues around the clock on I-80 East in Wharton after a sinkhole-related issue was discovered weeks ago. The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) has since identified 90 locations near the original problem that require assessment and possible repairs.

Using advanced scanning, remote sensing, and geophysical testing, crews are mapping underground conditions to detect voids or existing sinkholes. Two drill rigs are operating 24/7, drilling into the roadway and filling shafts with grout to reinforce the base.

As of Tuesday, 43 locations have been drilled, with 31 already stabilized with grout. While progress is steady, NJDOT notes that the process is time-consuming but necessary for long-term road safety.

A Belmar man has been arrested after allegedly pulling his SUV in front of two bicyclists and punching one of them in the face, leaving the 70-year-old victim with a broken jaw that required surgery.

Police say Anthony Alvear, of Belmar, stopped his dark-blue Kia SUV near 12th and D streets Friday afternoon, shouted at the cyclists, and then struck the victim with a closed fist while cursing at him. The assault was captured on a neighbor’s Ring camera, which shows the victim falling to the ground as Alvear drove off, using profanities and a homophobic slur.

Witnesses rushed to help the injured man, who was later taken for treatment.

Police identified Alvear the same day but did not find him at his home until Sunday, when he was taken into custody without incident. He has been charged with second-degree aggravated assault and issued a summons for a noise violation. He is being held at the Monmouth County Jail.

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.

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 suspended #BergenCounty Prosecutor's Office lieutenant, has been indicted for allegedly stealing narcotics from an evidence vault over five years and making $600,000 in suspicious cash deposits. 

Prosecutors say Kevin T. Matthew altered drug evidence, including cocaine and fentanyl, undermining prosecutions, and structured financial transactions to avoid detection.

Matthew faces a 50-count indictment, including charges of drug tampering, financial crimes, official misconduct, and tax fraud. His attorney denies the allegations, calling the investigation biased. The case remains under review by the Office of Public Integrity and Accountability.
