A juvenile has been charged with receiving a stolen vehicle after a multi-agency search warrant in Camden uncovered evidence linked to a string of car thefts and break-ins across Burlington County, police said Monday.
The Evesham Township Police Department, assisted by the New Jersey State Police TEAMS Unit, Medford Township Police, Mount Laurel Police and Camden County Police, executed a court-authorized search warrant July 22 at a home on Sheridan Street in Camden, according to a statement.
The warrant stemmed from an investigation into the theft of a BMW from the Willow Ridge section of Marlton on June 30, as well as several vehicle burglaries and auto thefts reported throughout Mount Laurel, Medford Township and Medford Lakes during July, police said.
During the search, detectives recovered evidence connected to the ongoing investigation, authorities said.
As of Monday, one juvenile has been charged with third-degree receiving a stolen vehicle, according to police. Investigators said the juvenile arrived at the Yale Road incident location in a stolen Audi that had been reported taken from Voorhees Township and was accompanied by several unidentified suspects.
The investigation remains active, and police are working to identify the additional individuals involved, officials said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Evesham Township Police Department at (856) 983-1116, the confidential tip line at (856) 983-4699, or Detective Sergeant Gary Borbidge at borbidgeg@eveshampd.org.
All individuals charged with a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, police noted.
