📰 News we're reading
• Three Browns Mills Women Arrested In Four-Figure ShopRite Shoplifting Scheme (tapinto.net) — Police surveillance at the ShopRite on Route 72 in Manahawkin led to the arrest of three Burlington County women accused of leaving with more than $1,000 in unpaid groceries. Stafford Township detectives intervened as the women pushed out full carts, then charged them with third-degree offenses before releasing them on summonses. All are presumed innocent pending court proceedings. 
• 250 Years of Greatness on Ever-Changing LBI (thesandpaper.net) — Manahawkin plays a recurring role in this look back at 250 years of Long Beach Island history, from early baymen and fishermen to the 19th-century rail line that linked Camden, Barnegat, Manahawkin and Tuckerton. The piece traces how transportation, fishing, tourism and real estate slowly transformed the once‑desolate barrier island into the busy shore destination locals know today.
