Newark Public Safety Director Emanuel Miranda, Sr., requests the public’s help identifying the male suspect pictured below in connection with a package theft that occurred on Tuesday, December 9, 2025.
 
At approximately 2:45 p.m., a package was delivered to a residence in the 100 block of Ellery Street.

The suspect is described as a Black male with a thin build. He was wearing a black bubble jacket, a turquoise hooded sweatshirt, dark blue jeans, and gray and white sneakers. He was riding a bright blue/turquoise bicycle with hanger handlebars, and an orange plastic bag hanging from the handlebars.
