Police Seek Public’s Help Identifying Burglary Suspect

Newark Public Safety Director Emanuel Miranda Sr. seeks the public’s help in identifying the suspect pictured below, who stole several toolboxes from a church on January 17, 2025.
 
At approximately 7 p.m., the pastor of Redeemed Christian Church, located in the 900 block of South 18th Street, saw the suspect fleeing with several items from the building.
 
When the pastor entered the church, the back door was damaged, and several toolboxes belonging to a construction company the church hired to do work were missing. The suspect, a Black male, wore dark clothing, a green hoodie, and a large coat.
 
Director Miranda Sr. 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.
