! Wayne Police Not Fooled By Bogus Bomb Threat At Willowbrook Mall
The driver of a stolen car stopped by Wayne police called in a bomb threat at the Macy’s in the Willowbrook Mall in the hopes of distracting them, authorities charged. Capt. Michael McNiff wasn’t fooled. While units responded to the 911 call at the mall, McNiff reminded officers on the road that it could be a diversionary tactic, Detective Capt. Dan Daly said. Sure enough, the call was traced to Shaquanda White, 30, of East Orange, who was driving a Honda Accord that had just been stopped by Officer Chris Savitsky outside the Yard House restaurant at Willowbrook, the captain said. The se…

Authorities don't know who claimed that they'd seen a white man in br…

Woman Believed Drowned In Bergenfield Pond Found Safe And Sound More Than 150 Miles Away
UPDATE: You can understand the concern, given recent events, when it was believed a woman had drowned in a pond in Bergenfield. You could also imagine the collective relief when it turned out to be a false alarm. The Bergen County Regional SCUBA Task Force was called after borough police and firefighters responded to Coopers Pond late Friday, April 29. Operations were suspended an hour or so later. That's because authorities discovered that the 50-year-old woman who was believed drowned was safe and sound -- in Rhode Island. It was on April 22 when an 18-year-old high school student drown…

Two Men Blame Racial Profiling For Panic At Newark Airport: Report
The airline employee who sparked a panic when she ordered passengers to flee from a terminal at Newark Liberty International Airport last week racially profiled the men who she took to be a threat, the men told BuzzFeed News. The Alaska Airlines employee hit an alarm near Gate 30 and yelled “evacuate” around 8:30 p.m. on Labor Day, sending hundreds scrambling from the terminal. Port Authority police interviewed the men, later saying it was a false alarm and there had never been any danger. Initial reports said the employee, who was not identified, singled out the men because they were be…

: Package That Closed GWB Was Phony Pipe Bomb, Investigators Say
A suspicious package that closed the George Washington Bridge for more than two hours during Thursday night's rainstorm was actually a phony pipe bomb, Daily Voice has learned. The "inert device" found in the upper level's eastbound lane next to the median on the New Jersey side had a pipe bomb casing -- a symmetrical cylinder with two tied caps at either end -- but not all of the other components necessary to make it explosive, investigators said. Whoever called in the report may have been the person responsible for placing it there, investigators suspect. It was the only call police rece…
