• Garage Break-In, Foot Chase Through Teaneck, Bergenfield Ends In NYC Man's Arrest: Cops (dailyvoice.com) — A burglary suspect from the Bronx was arrested after allegedly breaking into a Teaneck garage and then fleeing on foot into Bergenfield, where local officers helped corner and detain him near Henrietta and South Prospect avenues. Police say he entered a vehicle in the garage and carried suspected burglary tools, and they’re urging residents in both towns to secure homes, lock cars, and promptly report suspicious activity. 
• Fortresses of Faith: New Jersey's Jewish Institutions Spend Millions to Confront a Rising Tide of Fear (tjvnews.com) — A reported attack on a rabbi in Bergenfield is one of several recent antisemitic incidents pushing Jewish institutions across New Jersey to spend heavily on security. Synagogues and schools are adding guards, cameras, and fortified entrances, often relying on limited grants and donations. Local leaders say these protections are essential but worry about the cultural cost of turning welcoming spaces into virtual fortresses.
