Haddonfield police report 1,517 calls, $18,000 donation for license plate readers and five arrests in summer thefts
Summary
The Police Department told commissioners it handled 1,517 calls for service and reported a recent $18,000 donation to buy license plate readers; officials also said five suspects were arrested in summer thefts and detectives sometimes use EZ‑Pass for investigatory travel.
The Haddonfield Police Department reported 1,517 calls for service, 128 motor-vehicle stops and 378 summonses at the Nov. 25 Board of Commissioners meeting.
Police recorded zero burglaries in the most recent reporting period (with one prior motor-vehicle burglary outstanding) and zero reported motor-vehicle thefts. The department said five suspects were arrested in relation to early-summer thefts — four from New Jersey and one from New York — and that arrests had been withheld earlier to preserve the integrity of the investigation.
Officials also noted a recent $18,000 donation to fund motor-vehicle license plate readers. During public comment Anne Hearing asked about a $300 EZ-Pass charge; the Police Chief explained the department’s detectives sometimes travel to northern New Jersey or into Philadelphia in connection with investigations and that EZ-Pass can be used for such travel.
The minutes record the department’s figures and the donation announcement but provide no additional operational details or vendor information for the license plate readers.
