4 Kids Under 15 Busted for Car Theft and Burglary in Galloway, NJ

These four kids are growing up fast - but, definitely not in the right direction.

Galloway Police arrest four kids

A big/little arrest for the Galloway Township Police Department, with help from the Absecon Police Department.

Absecon Police were alerted of a situation just before 2am Sunday. Police found out about a group of people trying to break into vehicles in Absecon. They were reportedly traveling in a Dodge Journey and headed towards Galloway Township.

Galloway Police were able to locate the car near Route 30 and 8th Avenue. Police initiated a traffic stop, but the Dodge quickly drove away, in an attempt to flee police.

Shortly thereafter, police located the car again, on Arbutus Avenue. This time the car was abandoned - and police quickly discovered the vehicle had been stolen.

Galloway and Absecon Police then worked together and ultimately, after several hours,  found all four suspects hiding in various location.
