On August 26, 2022, the Riverside Police were assisting another law enforcement agency with locating a suspect wanted for an aggravated assault. A Riverside Detective spotted the suspect, David C. Vann, 27 years, of Roebling, NJ, operating a vehicle within the Township of Riverside. The Riverside officer made contact with Vann and he was arrested and turned over to that other agency.
A secondary investigation ensued involving the vehicle that Vann was operating. That investigation led to the vehicle being impounded and a search warrant being executed. As a result of that search, Riverside Detectives located a STOLEN firearm, armor-piercing ammunition, a distribution-size quantity of marijuana, numerous types of pills categorized as controlled dangerous substances and a large quantity of U.S. currency within the vehicle.
