Teen accused of taking state police SUV, using it in crimes
NORTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) — State police say a 16-year-old boy stole an unmarked police SUV from a trooper's home last weekend and used it in two robberies and the theft of gas from a service station.
The teen was arrested Wednesday on numerous counts including burglary, robbery and impersonating a law enforcement officer. His name wasn't released due to his age.
Authorities announced the arrest Thursday. They say two issued weapons that were inside the SUV when it was stolen on Sunday have been recovered.
Authorities say the teen stopped a truck driver Sunday morning and tried unsuccessfully to make the driver pay a fine for speeding. He later stopped two other vehicles and stole money from those drivers.
