The Riverside Township Police have apprehended two
adult males in connection with a string of approximately 66 vehicle burglaries
that occurred within the town over a five-month period. Ashton Stargell,
20, of Cinnaminson, NJ, and Kameron Haynes, 18, of Riverside, NJ, were taken
into custody following an extensive investigation into their alleged criminal
