Money stolen from house on Cleveland Avenue
A 21-year-old male residing on East Cleveland Avenue had money stolen from him between 1:00 and 1:30 a.m. Sunday, Cpl. Gerald Bryda of the Newark police said.
The victim returned home with cash he had earned that night at his job and placed it in his room.
The victim’s roommate, who was at home sleeping, heard footsteps on the third floor but thought it was the victim, Bryda said. The unidentified suspect entered the room wearing what appeared to be a Halloween costume, and the victim’s roommate escorted the allegedly intoxicated suspect out of the residence.
Later, the victim returned to find the window on the third floor open and the money from his room missing, Bryda said.
The suspect was described as a white male, 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall with an average build, 150 to 160 pounds and wearing short pants, suspenders, no shirt and a green hat.
Unknown man with BB gun found at party
Newark Police received a call at 1:08 a.m. Sunday about an unknown guest at a house party allegedly in possession of a handgun, Bryda said.
Residents of the house, located on South College Avenue, said minutes before police arrived, an unknown man inside the party had loaded a handgun and placed it into his waistband.
The officers cleared out the party with the hope of finding the suspect as guests left, Bryda said. The suspect was found and taken into custody, but at this point he did not have the gun on him.
The suspect, an 18-year-old Newark man, was charged with underage consumption of alcohol, Bryda said.
uThe next day, residents found a BB gun which wasn’t loaded and was a very realistic replica of Walthur handgun, Bryda said.
