Today's riddle: What has a tail, but no body? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Pets Abandoned In Bloomfield: Dog Tied To Fence, Cat Left Outside Shelter (patch.com) — Bloomfield residents are being urged to help identify who abandoned a dog near the Garden State Parkway entrance on Summit Avenue and a cat left outside the Bloomfield Animal Shelter gate. Shelter staff stress that dropping animals off like this is illegal and dangerous because they receive no information about the pets' health, age, or needs, complicating efforts to care for them.
2. Car Stolen From Bloomfield Driveway After Owner Leaves For Weekend: Police (patch.com) — Bloomfield residents are being alerted after a gray 2010 Nissan Altima was reported stolen from a driveway near Thomas Street while the owner was away for the weekend. The incident, reported on Aug. 31, remains under active investigation by Bloomfield police, who have not yet announced any arrests or suspects.
3. Adrienne Rodriguez and Lesly Sanchez Garner 'Club 90' Accolades for BHS Girls Wrestling (tapinto.net) — Bloomfield High wrestlers Adrienne Rodriguez and Lesly Sanchez have earned special "Club 90" jackets after logging extensive off-season training, from club practices to summer tournaments. Their hard work highlights Bloomfield's growing girls wrestling program as the Bengals gear up for the 2026–27 season, with both athletes already standing out at state-level competitions.
4. Latest ICE Arrests In Essex County Add To Growing List (patch.com) — Federal immigration agents were seen again in Bloomfield on Monday, with at least one person reportedly detained and their vehicle left behind, according to local advocates. The town has faced repeated ICE activity in 2026, prompting vigils, protests at the Historic Park on the Green, and new municipal restrictions on ICE use of township property, as residents debate federal enforcement in Essex County.
