‘Used Prophylactic’ Left On Essex County Homeowner’s Steps: Police

ESSEX COUNTY, NJ — Police are searching for whoever reportedly left a soiled birth control item on top of a UPS package at a South Spring Garden Avenue home in Nutley last week.

According to the Nutley Police Department, the resident contacted officers on Aug. 30 and reported that they found a “used prophylactic” on top of a package on their steps. The victim contacted the retailer and UPS, who reportedly stated that they would make amends by picking up the package and delivering a new item, police said.

Nutley officers unsuccessfully interviewed neighbors in the area in an attempt to learn more about the alleged incident, authorities stated.

Officers advised the resident to contact police if they notice any other suspicious incidents.
