Montgomery Township Police Department Press Release

Montgomery Township Police have released details on three recent incidents involving harassment, theft, and shoplifting in the township.

Police responded to IGO Stem Academy on November 26 at 11:32 a.m. after a former employee allegedly made concerning statements following a dispute over a paycheck. Following an investigation, officers charged a 23-year-old South Brunswick resident with harassment and disorderly conduct. The individual was arrested, processed, and later released, and is scheduled to appear in Montgomery Municipal Court.

Authorities noted that all charges are accusations and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

On November 30 at 3:13 p.m., officers were dispatched to a Sunset Road residence for a reported theft of a food delivery. According to police, an unknown individual removed a recently delivered food order from the front porch shortly after it was dropped off. The incident remains under investigation, and police have not yet released further details.

In a separate case, on December 10, Montgomery Police arrested a 46-year-old Princeton resident in connection with a series of reported shoplifting incidents at the Montgomery ShopRite. Police allege the individual stole merchandise totaling $285 during three separate incidents in September and October. The suspect was processed and released and is scheduled to appear in Montgomery Municipal Court.
As with all criminal cases, the charges are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until found guilty in court.

Montgomery Police encourage anyone with information regarding the Sunset Road porch theft or other suspicious activity in town to contact the department’s non-emergency line.
