Resident of Trenton, NJ 08618
REPORTING OFFICER: Ptl. C. Van Ness #586
DETAILS: Patrol Units were detailed to Marshalls for a shoplifting in progress. Prior to police arrival, the shoplifter had left in an older red Jeep Grand Cherokee going south on U.S. Route 1. Ptl. C. Van Ness observed a vehicle matching that description that was stopped in traffic at a red light on Franklin Corner Road in Lawrence. He pulled up behind the Jeep from the shoulder to get the license plate number, then pulled up alongside it to see if any of the occupants matched the description of the suspect. While he looked inside, the driver of the Jeep took notice of the police car. The driver squeezed through a narrow gap between the car in front of it and the police car next to it, and rapidly accelerated down the shoulder and into the intersection where it narrowly missed hitting vehicles crossing the intersection. Investigation found that Arthur Rogers had filled a shopping cart with merchandise and pushed it out of the store without paying. He then got into the red Jeep and drove away. The Jeep was later located at the apartment complex where the registered owner lived and was impounded for investigation.
