Between December 2025 and May 2026, the Gloucester Township Police Department received three reports involving a male discharging what appeared to be a firearm in commercial parking lots along the Blackwood Clementon Road corridor, causing property damage. These incidents prompted heightened emergency responses from officers, as businesses and nearby individuals reported active gunfire in the area.

On Friday, May 8, 2026, at approximately 7:58 p.m., officers from the Gloucester Township Police Department (GTPD) were dispatched to the area of Pine Glen Drive in the Sicklerville section of Gloucester Township for the report of three juveniles burglarizing a residence and attempting to steal a vehicle.

An alert neighbor observed three subjects wearing ski masks enter a residence, immediately contacted police, and continued providing real-time information to responding officers. The three males exited the residence carrying numerous items and proceeded to a vehicle in an attempt to steal it and flee the area. The subjects entered the vehicle but were unsuccessful in starting it, causing them to flee on foot.

Responding officers located the suspects fleeing, pursued them on foot, and successfully took all three individuals into custody. The suspects were identified as juveniles, transported to GTPD Headquarters, charged on juvenile complaints, and remanded to a juvenile detention center.
