NEWARK, N.J. — The Newark Police Division has announced the arrest of 14 individuals in connection with violent crimes committed during August.
Newark Public Safety Director Fritz G. Fragé commended the efforts of multiple law enforcement units for their role in bringing these suspects into custody.
“I am grateful for the commitment of our Fugitive Apprehension Team, Shooting Response Team, Robbery Unit, Auto Unit, Special Victims Unit, Detective Bureau members, and the U.S. Marshals Service for these outstanding results,” Director Fragé said. “The Newark Police Division is focused on keeping our residents and visitors safe.”
While these arrests mark significant progress in the city’s ongoing fight against violent crime, it is important to note that the charges against each suspect are accusations at this stage. All individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
