On Thursday, November 16, 2023, at 5:54pm Audubon Police Officers were dispatched to the area of S. Hood Avenue on a report of a motor vehicle accident. The involved vehicle was described as a white Dodge Charger which matched the description of a vehicle that moments before had been reported to be driving erratically in the jurisdictions of Haddonfield and Haddon Township. Upon arrival, officers were immediately alerted by witnesses that the operator of the vehicle fled on foot into the surrounding neighborhood and was attempting to break into residences, specifically the 100 block of S. Barrett Avenue. Responding officers were able to quickly locate the male suspect running through a rear yard of a residence on S. Barrett Ave. As officers made their way into the rear yard the suspect was observed attempting to break into that home as he stood on the elevated deck of the residence. Initially the suspect resisted arrest causing minor injury to two officers but was ultimately taken into custody without further incident. The suspect was identified as 30-year-old Christian Capacchione of 10 N Girard Avenue, National Park, NJ 08063 and resides at 561 High Street, Woodbury, NJ 08096. A preliminary investigation revealed that as police were being called to the scene, the suspect successfully entered or tried to enter six (6) residences, and one (1) vehicle, leaving behind 15 victims as a result. The suspect was charged with 16 criminal offenses. Charges include: Terroristic Threats, Burglary, Endangering the Welfare of a Child, Criminal Trespass, Criminal Mischief, Aggravated Assault on a Law Enforcement Officer, and Resisting Arrest. The two (2) injured Audubon Police Officers suffered only minor injuries and were treated then released from a local medical facility. The suspect was processed on all charges and then remanded to the Camden County Correctional Facility.
