Car Thief Apprehended by Police Chief
On 2/21/17 at approximately 12:00 p.m., Riverside Police
were dispatched to the 500 block of Bridgeboro Street for an abandoned 911
call. The call was soon updated to the
report of a vehicle that had just been stolen.
One of the officers responding to the call was Chief of Police William
T. Eliason. As he responded to the area,
he observed a possible suspect walking away from the area where the vehicle had
last been seen. The suspect apparently
abandoned the vehicle after observing police response. He was detained by Chief Eliason. The stolen motor vehicle was located in close
proximity . A witness to the theft was
able to positively identify David Dubell Jr., 18 of Beverly, as the individual
that had taken the vehicle. Mr. Dubell
Jr. was taken into custody and the vehicle was turned back over to the victim.
