Five Juvenile Deliquents Rough Up 82-Year-Old Man Gloucester City Resident

   GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ-- Last Saturday, April 3, an elderly Gloucester City resident was roughed up by five juveniles, four of which were involved in the burglary of John Jeffrey, a warehouse on Charles Street on March 28. Those four, by the way, are still awaiting sentencing for that incident. 

    According to police, the 82 year old man was walking in the area of Monmouth and King streets at around 2:40 p.m. when he was approached by the youths. They attacked him and fled on foot with the fruits of the robbery, $5.70. Their names are being withheld because of their age. At the time we went to press the police were trying to have the courts detain the youths.

    Police are investigating the discharging of a weapon in the Gloucester Terrace apartments, Reading Avenue on Wednesday night. A suspect arrested and charged for allegedly firing the handgun was a resident from Division Street. He was charged with possession of a deadly weapon, hollow nose bullets and firing a gun.

    Officers James Hutchinson and Donald Budden arrested a suspect of Division Street for allegedly trying to set fire to a car parked at Broadway and Powell streets on March 31. 

    Police are looking for the vandals that broke several of the stained glass windows of St. Mary’s Church with rocks on Friday afternoon. Anyone that has any information about the incident is asked to call Det. Sgt. Robert Fair, 456-0900. All information will be treated confidential.
