Police Seek Public’s Help Identifying Theft Suspect

Newark Public Safety Director Emanuel Miranda, Sr. seeks the public’s help in identifying the suspect pictured below, who took a victim’s cell phone from a fast food restaurant on January 13, 2025.
 
The victim, an employee at Chipotle on the 200 block of Market Street, set her phone down while mopping the floor. As she cleaned, she left the restaurant door open. The suspect entered at approximately 11:32 p.m. and asked to use the bathroom. The employee declined his request due to the slippery floor. On his way out, he was captured on surveillance video taking the employee’s cell phone.
 
Director Miranda urges anyone with information about the suspect’s identity 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 confidential and could result in a reward. #newarknj #publicsafety #police #community #partnership #newjersey #cops #tips #CrimeStoppers
