2 Dirt Bikers Charged In Galloway Nature Preserve Vandalism

GALLOWAY, NJ — The two dirt bikers sought for damaging the new Galloway Township Nature Preserve and harassing workers back in October have been charged, police said in an update.

On Oct. 24, two dirt bikers rode inside what was formerly Ole Hansen's gravel pit, where the township is working to make improvements, and were asked to leave by employees, police previously said. Instead, the two "made obscene gestures, and taunted workers by driving their bikes in the workers direction spraying them with rocks, dirt, and debris," police said.

After police posted that they where looking for the two, one of them turned himself in the police department.

Following further investigation, Yamin Miguel, 23, and Charles Robertson, 18, both Galloway residents, were charged with multiple offenses including operating a prohibited vehicle in a recreation area and eluding police. The two also received multiple motor vehicle summonses. Miguel and Robertson were released on their charges pending a future court date.

Police thanked the public for their assistance in the investigation.

"Working together, we can ensure that our Nature Reserve remains intact, and the public remains safe," police said.
