Teenager Arrested On Outstanding Warrant: South Orange Police

SOUTH ORANGE, NJ - A 19-year-old Newark man was arrested on outstanding warrants after an incident with police on May 23, according to the South Orange Police.

According to authorities, at approximately 3 a.m. officers observed two individuals walking in the area of Longview Road where numerous reports of auto theft and auto burglaries have occurred over the last month.
