Have You Seen Her? Police Looking for Woman Involved in NJ Fraud Scheme

Two Morris County police departments are actively looking for one, possibly two women believed to be involved in car burglaries and fraud earlier this year, and are asking for the public’s help.

On June 25, Roxbury and Mt. Olive police departments responded to parks in their respective towns for reports of motor vehicle burglaries, police said. When officers arrived at both locations, they found vehicles with windows smashed and purses stolen, police said.

Bank checks from the victim’s purses were later cashed at multiple bank drive-through windows throughout the New Jersey, police said, by a white female wearing sunglasses and driving a gold-colored Hyundai Sante Fe.

The license plate on the vehicle was later discovered to be stolen from a parked vehicle in the East Brunswick area, police said.

A victim from Mt. Olive had a check cashed by the suspect utilizing the Roxbury victim’s driver’s license, police said.

Authorities believe the incidents are indeed related and asking for the public’s help. Anyone with information is requested to contact Mt. Olive Police Sgt. DSG. Annecchiarico at 973-691-0850, ext. 7570, or Roxbury Police Det. Bill Manisa at 973-448-2050. Anyone looking to provide information anonymously can contact Crimestoppers at 973-267-2255.
