On Oct. 24, Jackson Police followed up information regarding the 2018 theft and was able to recover a motorcycle which had been reported stolen, charging the suspect who stole it.
In August 2018, a Miller Ave. resident reported the theft of an all-terrain vehicle and two dirt bikes from his Jackson home. It wasn’t until recently that the victim forwarded police video footage which showed one of the stolen motorcycles, valued at more than $4,000, being operated by a juvenile in Camden.
The victim was able to identify his bike by several customized and aftermarket modifications as well as by minor but distinctive damage.
