Police Seek the Public’s Help in Identifying Carjacking Suspect

Newark Public Safety Director Fritz G. Fragé requests the public’s help in identifying the below-pictured male suspect in connection with a carjacking that occurred on Sunday, January 1, 2023.

Just after 7:05 p.m., a man sitting inside a parked vehicle at 18th Avenue and Alexander Street was approached by a male suspect wearing all black and a ski-mask who pointed a handgun at him before stealing his car, a blue, 4-door Dodge Dart. The suspect fled in the victim’s vehicle, heading northbound on Alexander Street. 

Director Fragé urges anyone with information about the identity of this suspect to call the Police Division’s 24-hour Crime Stopper tip line at 1-877-NWK-TIPS (1-877-695-8477). All anonymous Crime Stopper tips are kept confidential and could result in a reward.
