VOORHEES TWP. NJ: On Sunday, December 1st, 2019 at approximately 10:44 pm, Voorhees Patrol Officers were dispatched to the Bagel Bin located on the 200 block of Kresson-Gibbsboro Road for a burglary in progress. The business owner was alerted and able to view live video from the surveillance system of two masked individuals inside the closed business.

Two individuals complied with Officers commands, prior to K9 Jocko being deployed, and exited the business. They were then taken into custody without incident.
