A Florham Park officer stopped the car for traffic violations and noticed all occupants were wearing ski masks and dressed in all black, Florham Park Police Chief Joseph Orlando said.
One of the men in the vehicle, age 18, had been wanted for homicide and had been charged as a juvenile in the crime in an adjacent county, the chief said. Daily Voice has reached out to Orlando for details on the homicide.
A search of the vehicle turned up 25 personal checks in the glove box, all of which belonged to Florham Park and Madison residents, Orlando said.
A device used to retrieve mail from inside U.S. Postal Service mail receptacles was also seized, the chief added.
The suspects were arrested and lodged in the Morris County Correctional Facility pending future court appearances, Orlando said.
"I send this post to make all residents aware of the criminal element stalking our streets on a daily basis and the inherent danger they present to our residents and our officers," the chief said in a release shared to Facbeook.
" Remember to be vigilant at all times, report suspicious persons, vehicles and behavior to the police immediately and please remember that our officers are patrolling our streets throughout the night to protect our residents and businesses from a dangerous and motivated criminal element."
