Robbers Lock Two Workers in Freezer at Woodbridge Taco Bell

Two suspects robbed delivery men serving the Taco Bell in Woodbridge early Wednesday morning

Two suspects, dressed in dark hoodies and brandishing a silver gun, surprised two workers making a 3 am delivery at Taco Bell in Woodbridge early Wednesday morning. Woodbridge Police Captain Roy Hoppock said the suspects assailed the delivery workers as they were making an early morning drop off of supplies to the fast food restaurant, located in the ShopRite shopping center on St. Georges Avenue. The workers had arrived and were unloading their supplies from the truck when one of the employees was approached by a suspect who waved a silver revolver in his face and said, "This is a robbery."

Woodbridge Police Warn Motorists: 'No Texting While Driving'

Violators face stiff fines.

Put the cell phone away if you're driving through Fords. That's where electronic mobile signs were blinking a message recently: "Enjoy the Ride...Don't Text and Drive." Woodbridge Police have been putting the signs up throughout the township to warn drivers to put the cell phone away when they're behind the wheel. "It's a reminder that motorists shouldn't be texting and driving," said Captain Roy Hoppock. The signs were recently sighted on New Brunswick Avenue, but they've been spotted around the township. Just last month, the New Jersey Assembly passed a bill that would at least double the fines for texting and driving, from $100 for a first offense to between $200 and $400, according to the bill. Fines are even stiffer if you've been …

In Hopelawn, Burglars Sprucing Up for Spring in Tool Theft

Unknown crooks made off with $700 worth of home improvement tools from a truck parked near a Hopelawn home, police said.

Spring is in the air, and everyone is looking to fix up their homes after a dreary winter. Even burglars. A Hopelawn resident was victimized on Tuesday after unknown crooks made off with about $700 worth of home improvement tools from a vehicle parked near a Howard Street home in the Hopelawn section of the township. Woodbridge police said the vehicle owner reported that his 2004 Dodge Ram had tools taken from it. The loot included a Ramset Cobra nailgun, a DeWalt corded Sawzall, and a DeWalt 18v hammer drill. The truck owner noticed the tools were gone when he went to work around 5 a.m. There was no sign of forced entry, police said. The suspects are still at large.

Woodbridge Man's Death Began Probe into NYC Oxy Trafficking Ring

Dr. Hector Castro and his assistant were arrested on charges of selling oxycodone prescriptions from his New York medical clinic.

A Manhattan doctor and his assistant were allegedly responsible for selling thousands of prescriptions for the painkiller Oxycodone in the past several years that resulted in the sale over more than 500,000 pills worth at least $10 million on the black market, officials said. Dr. Hector Castro, 51, and his assistant, Patricia Valera, 28, were charged separately with the prescription scam last Tuesday, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) said.  Castro, the founder and medical director of Itzamna Medical Center in the Gramercy section of Manhattan, had been selling the prescriptions at least since 2011.  That was when the death of a Woodbridge man in December from an overdose of Oxycodone caused Woodbridge police to get …

Oxycontin abuse leads to heroin addiction and all of it's social ramifications (burglaries, prostitution, drug dealing). These are VERY serious charges. Unless the accused are in fact innocent (not looking that way), they're probably looking at the equivalent of life sentences unless there's a "bigger fish" to give up, like Sammy the Bull did. Oxy dealing leaves a string of victims in addition to…   more ›

Woodbridge Police Smash Drug Ring

Two men were arrested and charged with selling $15K in illegal drugs, all within 1,000 feet of a Woodbridge school.

Months of investigation paid off for Woodbridge Police Thursday. They executed search warrants on two men and seized more than $15,000 in illegal drugs and $10,000 in cash in what they said was the breakup of a local drug ring. Police say they arrested Earl White, 39, of North Brunswick and Kenneth Kilpatrick, 26, of Woodbridge Proper in an early morning raid on March 21. An investigation by the Woodbridge Police Special Investigations Unit uncovered the drug ring. In the raid, they seized 476 oxycodone pills, 37 grams of cocaine, and 30 grams of MDMA - otherwise known as Ecstasy. The illegal drugs have a street value of $15,400. Along with the $10,000 in cash seized, two vehicles were impounded, police said. Both White and Kilpatrick …

@DisneyMom So what are your views on marijuana and children, and having a pot store near a residential neighborhood and WHS? As a polite suggestion, do not weigh into serious discussions on subjects like pot and its dangers to children, and expect that by hiding behind the mantle of motherhood, you have impunity from anyone's commentary. As to my demeaning you or your parenting skills, how could …   more ›

Money, Credit Cards Stolen in Area Break-Ins

Three vehicles on the same date and the same roadway had two other things in common - the owners left the doors unlocked and left valuables inside.

Drivers probably shouldn't keep money, ID, credit cards, or other valuables in their automobiles - but they do, locking the car door would probably be a good plan. Three vehicle break-ins in the Woodbridge area in recent weeks had less to do with breaking in and more with the burglars just opening an unlocked car door, according to Woodbridge police reports. All three occurred at approximately the same date - February 24 - and all were at buinesses on Route 1. At one heist, police responded to a call about a woman's 2002 Honda Civic. The vehicle owner told police she had returned to her car, parked in the lot of Best Buy on Route 1, and found her Coach purse missing from the vehicle. Also gone with her car speakers. Police found the …

The fact that there was "no sign of a forced entry" does NOT necessarily mean the door was left unlocked; it could just mean the thieves used more sophisticated methods that caused little or no visible damage. FOB cloning, slim jims, hole punching, are just a few. Do some internet searches. It's bad enough that these people had their stuff stolen. Do they really need to have the Patch basically …   more ›
