Glen Rock Officer Nicholas Onove was on patrol just after 2:30 a.m. when he spotted two men in dark clothing near properties on Cornwall Road and Gibson Place. When Onove attempted to confront them, the suspects jumped a fence into the backyard of a Cornwall Road property and fled.

Following a foot chase involving Sgt. Greg Carter, Officer James Donnelly, and officers from Fair Lawn and Ridgewood, the suspects were apprehended.
