• More needles and medical waste washing up on the Jersey Shore (news12.com) — Manasquan Beach recently saw needles and syringes wash ashore, and now similar medical waste is appearing from Spring Lake to Bay Head, raising safety concerns for local beachgoers. Officials say heavy rains likely flushed debris from older sewer systems, and residents are urged to avoid touching suspicious items and instead call police while also joining upcoming beach cleanups.
   

• Bentley Diamond co-owner details burglary (starnewsgroup.com) — A Spring Lake Heights jewelry store owner is describing a fast, early-morning burglary where two masked suspects smashed display cases, stole merchandise and escaped before police arrived. Manasquan officers assisted with a K-9 track, and investigators are now reviewing surveillance footage and asking nearby residents or drivers with video to help identify those responsible.
