BRICK, NJ — Three people have been charged in connection with a stolen car that was found abandoned in a school parking lot in Brick last week, police said Monday.

Anthony Young, 19, of Cape May Court House, Naishon Price, 18, and Kandace Langford, 18, both of Wildwood, have been charged with receiving stolen property, Brick Sgt. Jim Kelly said.

Brick Class I Special Police Officer Vincent Sanzone saw a gray Nissan Altima with extensive damage parked in the parking lot of the Ocean County Vocational-Technical School on Chambers Bridge Road about 8:50 p.m. July 14, Brick Sgt. Jim Kelly said.

Sanzone called in the car's license plate and learned it had been reported stolen earlier in the day out of Wildwood Crest. About the time Sanzone found the car, New Jersey State Police received a call for an accident on the Garden State Parkway in the area, Kelly said.

Police started searching the area and Detective Brenden Barnes was able to obtain surveillance footage from the vo-tech school that allowed police to get a description of three suspects who had been in the car, Kelly said. Several eyewitnesses gave the same physical and clothing description of the three suspects seen on the surveillance footage along with information on where the direction they had started walking, he said.

Talty and Officer Michael Bennett arrested the three; Young and Price were taken to the Ocean County Jail, while Langford was released on a summons. The investigation is continuing, Kelly said.
