Abandoned Boat's Owner Sought In Brick: Police

BRICK, NJ -- Brick Township police are seeking the owner of a boat abandoned at the Glenwood Road municipal boat ramp in April.

In a post on the department's Facebook page, police said the boat was left at the ramp on April 17. A small pickup truck was seen pulling up to the ramp, and the boat was set adrift in the Metedeconk River, police said.
