Police Seek Help Identifying Theft from Auto Suspect

Newark Public Safety Director Emanuel Miranda, Sr., requests the public’s help identifying the suspect pictured below, who entered a victim’s vehicle and removed several items on Tuesday, September 16, 2025.
 
The victim parked his vehicle at approximately 9 p.m. on September 14, 2025, in the 100 block of South 8th Street.  Two days later, the vehicle’s dash cam recorded the suspect, a Black male, entering the car at approximately 2:30 a.m. He ransacked it and took several items before he left.
 
The suspect, who has a heart tattoo on the left side of his face, wore light-colored jeans and a dark-colored T-shirt with the words “feel good” written across the chest.
 
Director Miranda urges anyone with information on 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 kept confidential and could result in a reward.
