Longtime local referee passed away Saturday (trentonian.com) — Ewing residents are mourning longtime local sports referee Frederick “Fred” Romanowsky, a 72-year-old lifelong Ewing resident whose burial will take place at Ewing Cemetery on Scotch Road.

Vehicle theft spree in Trenton involves tow truck heist (wpst.com) — An Ewing resident, 45-year-old Walter Mason, has been charged with using his licensed tow truck to steal seven vehicles in Trenton over one week in March, which were then taken to a scrapyard and crushed. Investigators say the vehicles were not repossessions or parking tows, and Mason now faces seven theft counts as the case moves through the courts.
4. Calm returns to Delaney Hall, not everyone is happy about it (nj1015.com) — Police are asking Ewing residents to help identify an ATV rider who ran over a township officer at the Delta station at Princeton and Olden Avenues, then fled.
