Learn more👇 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.” - Follow for more #local news in NJ #newjersey #nj #southjersey #capemaycounty #njnews #capemaycountynj #wildwood #wildwoodnj #townsofnewjersey

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

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. - Follow for more #local news + events happening in Monmouth County. #monmouthcounty #monmouthcountynj #oceanportnj #newjersey #centraljersey #townsofnewjersey

Learn more👇 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. - Follow @townsofnewjersey for more #local news in NJ #monmouthcounty #monmouthcountynj #jerseyshore #njnews #belmarnj #townsofnewjersey

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

Have you heard? Former New Jersey State Trooper Shane H. Dempsey, 32, of Brick, faces more than a decade in prison after pleading guilty to charges stemming from an undercover sting in which he arranged to meet someone he believed was a 14-year-old girl. According to the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office, Dempsey used the social media app Whisper last summer to exchange messages with an undercover detective posing as the minor. He allegedly requested explicit images, offered to pay for sexual acts, and drove to a planned meeting in his police vehicle. Dempsey pleaded guilty to second-degree attempted sexual assault and third-degree official misconduct. Under the plea deal, prosecutors will recommend a seven-year prison sentence, with no parole eligibility for two years. He must also register as a sex offender under Megan’s Law, face lifetime monitoring, forfeit his law enforcement position, and is permanently barred from public employment. Dempsey, who joined the state police pension system in 2017 and earned $80,704 annually, will be sentenced Nov. 21. - For more #local headlines + events happening nearby — link in bio for our waitlist. #monmouthcounty #monmouthcountynj #bricknj #njnews #centraljersey #townsofnewjersey

What are your thoughts? A 26-year-old man from #Newark was arrested after allegedly breaking into a #Paramus Shake Shack multiple times, cooking food, and stealing merch. The restaurant’s manager reported a break-in on June 28 after spotting the man on surveillance footage. Video showed the suspect entering the closed restaurant on several occasions, using the grill, and taking items. Police launched an investigation and identified the suspect. On June 30, he returned to the Route 17 Shake Shack (I know this is a video of GSP) and attempted another break-in. Officers caught him nearby wearing a Shake Shack T-shirt and carrying a chef’s hat. He was charged with burglary and theft and taken to #BergenCounty Jail. That same day, police linked him to another break-in at a building on Kalisa Way, which he may have been using for shelter. - Keep up to date with what’s happening #NJ, follow @townsofnewjersey #bergencountynj #gsp #paramusnj #newarknj #njnews #northjerseynews #townsofnewjersey
