Yesterday at approximately 9:40 p.m., Hoboken police officers responded to the 800 block of Adams Street on reports of three people seen entering a garage on mini-motorcycles and attempt to open the doors of multiple vehicles, public safety spokeswoman Marci Rubin said in a statement.
They were unsuccessful and left. A short time later, it’s believed the same three actors attempted to steal a Vespa near the intersection of 15th and Adams Streets.
The owner of the vehicle was able to stop the trio, who caused approximately $2,000 worth of damage to the Vespa before they fled the scene.
Residents and/or businesses with security cameras on Adams Street between 8th and 15th Streets, that were recording between 9:40 p.m. and 10:20 p.m. yesterday, are asked to contact Det. John Quinones at quinonesj@hobokenpdnj.gov.
