Newark Public Safety Director Fritz G. Fragé seeks the public’s help in identifying a woman who committed an act of criminal mischief on Tuesday, April 11, 2023.
At just after midnight, two women were asked to leave Applebee’s at 383 Springfield Avenue by an employee after they were behaving irately. The employee later left the restaurant at 3 a.m. to discover that his rear tail light was damaged.

Detectives investigating this incident describe the suspect as a Black female, wearing a gray sweatshirt, light-colored pants, black and white sneakers, and carrying a green purse.
