Bullet stopped by refrigerator
A 23-year-old victim reported a bullet was shot at her home on Patrick Henry Drive in the neighborhood of Cherry Hill between 9 p.m. on March 31 and 6 a.m. on April 1, Cpl. Paul Feld said. Newark police responded to the scene and found the bullet had struck through the rear-sliding door and stopped after hitting the refrigerator.
Police conducted a search around the neighborhood and located a 54-year-old male suspect who also lives in Cherry Hill, Feld said. Police obtained a search warrant to search his home and found several weapons. A small-caliber hand gun shot the bullet that struck the victim's home.
A 26-year-old male was at the home when the bullet hit the refrigerator and told police he heard a shot at the time of the incident, Feld said.
The case is ongoing and police do not currently believe the incident occured with vicious intent, Feld said. The crime is being filed as reckless endangering in the 1st degree.
Burglary on North Chapel Street
An unknown suspect broke into a home on North Chapel Street Saturday between approximately 7 p.m. and 11 p.m., Feld said. The suspect knocked down the back door, entered the residence and stole sunglasses, an iPod and a Dell laptop.
The 22-year-old male victim came home at night and observed the damaged door and saw the inside of his residence had been disturbed, Feld said.
The total value stolen is reported at $1,480, and the door is estimated to be worth $50, Feld said.
There are no leads and the case has been handed to the Criminal Investigation Division.
