Police in South Jersey nabbed the third and final person wanted for swiping a pricey item while vandalizing a beloved Jersey Shore amusement park.
Clayton, Gloucester County, police alerted North Wildwood Police Wednesday that they had arrested Leander Jarrell -- the adult suspect in the July 11 incident at Morey’s Piers at 25th and the Boardwalk in North Wildwood.
North Wildwood Police said 13- and 16-year-old boys arrested earlier -- who weren't identified since they are minors -- and Jarrell, 23, stole a computerized terminal cash register valued at $2,400. The suspects also damaged a pier security camera, said investigators.
North Wildwood Police credited the release of surveillance images of the suspects with the identification of those allegedly involved.
The two juveniles were arrested in Clayton and charged with theft, criminal mischief and trespass then released into the custody of their parents. Jarrell faces theft, using minors to commit a crime, criminal mischief and trespass and was sent to Cape May County jail on $35,000 cash bail.
