In an update, police thanked residents who shared the department's post and provided information. "Your assistance is greatly appreciated and continues to be an important part of our investigative efforts," police said.
Police did not release the identified individual's name or say whether charges have been filed.
Anyone with additional information related to the incidents is asked to contact Detective Robert Allie at (609) 921-2100, ext. 2123.
