“When we allow these dangerous individuals to walk freely in our neighborhoods, the safety of every resident in Hudson County is at risk. We are making it clear each and every day that if you commit a crime in our community, you can run but you cannot hide.â€
In total, the accused criminals were arrested for the following crimes: theft, aggravated assault, burglary, possession of controlled dangerous substances, failure to register as a sex offender, possession of false documents, neglect of a child, robbery, kidnapping, making terroristic threats and carjacking.
