Property and mortgage fraud is a rapidly growing crime in the United States. It occurs when individuals use forged documents or impersonation to falsely claim ownership of a property. These scammers may attempt to sell the property, transfer the deed, or take out loans against the property without the real owner’s knowledge. In some cases, property fraud may not be discovered for years.
To help Camden County residents and property owners protect themselves from fraud, the Camden County Clerk’s Office offers the Property Alert Service, a free notification service that will notify you immediately whenever a document with your name (e.g. mortgage, deed, or lien) is recorded at the County Clerk’s Office.
“This free service is the first step in protecting your property,” said Clerk Pamela Lampitt. “By signing up for alerts, property owners can take a proactive role in safeguarding their most valuable assets, and respond quickly to suspicious activity.”
Please sign up today and protect your property from fraud. It’s quick, easy and free.

New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) Acting Commissioner Priya Jain today announced that the annual statewide campaign to repair potholes across New Jersey will begin on Monday, March 16.
“Winter is tough on our roads. That’s why our crews are working quickly to repair them,” Governor Mikie Sherrill said. “New Jersey drivers deserve safe, smooth roads, and this campaign is about fixing problems fast to keep people moving and our economy flowing.”
With a more active winter this year and temperatures continually fluctuating between above and below freezing, the Department expects to repair more potholes this season than last year. Potholes are created by water seeping into cracks in the asphalt and then expanding when it freezes, so this type of weather pattern takes a toll on state highways.
“The New Jersey Department of Transportation is beginning our annual pothole campaign on Monday, March 16. Over the next couple of months our priority will be repairing potholes formed this winter,” Acting Commissioner Jain said. “NJDOT crews work year-round to repair potholes and keep our highways in good condition, but at this time of year, it becomes our primary focus.”
To repair potholes in the most aggressive and efficient manner, the Department will be allowing crews throughout the state to close travel lanes where necessary during daytime hours. When possible, crews will limit their daytime work hours to 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will try to avoid working in travel lanes during peak commuting times.
NJDOT will be using Variable Message Signs (VMS) to alert motorists of the campaign and, to the extent possible, of lane closures that could result in temporary travel delays. Detailed current repair locations will be posted on a continual basis on www.511nj.org.
As the weather warms up and asphalt plants reopen, our crews will start to perform permanent patch operations on particularly problematic sections of roadway. This is more extensive work that requires milling and paving a small area of the road that, generally, will be done overnight.
In the past five fiscal years (FY20 – FY24), NJDOT has repaired an average of approximately 155,000 potholes per year. The average has steadily decreased over the past several years because of NJDOT’s emphasis on repaving our State Highways, improving the percentage of roads in good and fair condition from 47 percent in 2008 to 81 percent today. So far in FY26 (July 1, 2025 – March 13, 2026), NJDOT has repaired about 89,100 potholes, with the busiest pothole repair season just starting.
It is important to slow down in work zones so NJDOT crews can safely make repairs. New Jersey’s Move Over law requires motorists to move over, if it is safe to do so, when approaching an emergency or service vehicle stopped on the side of the road. If you cannot safely MOVE OVER, PLEASE SLOW DOWN.
In addition to our crews monitoring and reporting potholes that need repair on state highways, we encourage motorists to report potholes as well. Motorists may call 1-800-POTHOLE (1-800-768-4653) or go online to report potholes on state roads using a mapping feature to help identify the exact location of the pothole.
To report potholes on county roads, contact the appropriate jurisdiction. The Department responds as quickly as possible, especially to reports of potholes that create safety concerns based on their size and location.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a public health alert for frozen ready-to-eat turkey stuffed pastry products due to misbranding. Some boxes of the turkey, pesto, and cheese stuffed pastries contain ham and cheese instead. A recall was not requested because the product is no longer available for purchase.
