Teen Boys, 15 And 13, Found With Stolen Asbury Park Pick-Up

ASBURY PARK, NJ — Two young teenage boys, ages 13 and 15, are accused of stealing a Ford F1150 pick-up from Asbury Park.

The teens were discovered inside the stolen pick-up Tuesday morning in Jackson Twp., Jackson Police said in this Facebook post posted Wednesday.

At 11:50 a.m. Tuesday, Jackson Police were on patrol and checked into an undeveloped cul-de-sac located off Clearstream Road. There, they observed a vehicle at the rear of the area.

They found two teen boys inside the pick-up and found the vehicle to be reported stolen out of Asbury Park.

The same pick-up had been involved in a suspicious incident the previous day on North Boston Road in Jackson Township, said police.

The two teen boys first gave false names but they ultimately were identified and determined to be a boy from Jackson, 15, and a boy from Holmdel, 13. They were taken into custody and the vehicle was impounded.

Police say both boys had been reported missing out of a group home in another county. They were both charged with juvenile complaints of hindering apprehension and receiving stolen property.

Jackson Twp. home invasion Tuesday morning, with owner inside the house

In an unrelated incident, a 2020 Audi Q8 valued at $80,000 was stolen from a Jackson Twp. driveway at 8:45 a.m. Tuesday. That morning, residents on the street, Bridgewater Court off Brewers Bridge Road, said they saw a green 2022 BMW M4 driving slowly through the neighborhood before going to the victim’s house.

That green BMW had been reported stolen out of Closter, in Bergen County.

Jackson Police say the suspects entered the victim’s open garage and then entered the home itself through an unlocked interior door. While the homeowner was upstairs, the suspects went through several drawers in the kitchen and stole the homeowner’s purse, which contained a wallet, credit cards, cash and other personal items along with the key fob for the Audi.

They then stole the Audi and both vehicles were last seen driving toward Brewers Bridge Road. The BMW was later recovered in Newark and the location of the Audi is unknown.
