⚠️🚨Crime ALERT: Public Assistance Requested Regarding Overnight Burglary/Theft Investigation🚨⚠️
The Longport Police Department is investigating an overnight burglary that occurred during the early morning hours of Saturday, May 30, 2026, in the area of North Evergreen Avenue and Wi******er Avenue.
Two individuals wearing dark clothing and face coverings were observed moving through the neighborhood and attempting to access property. During the incident, a bicycle was stolen from a residential garage. The suspects were last seen traveling northbound on Evergreen Avenue toward Sunset Avenue.
We are sharing this information for two important reasons: to keep our residents informed and to seek the public’s assistance with this investigation.
This incident also serves as a reminder that simple preventative measures can significantly reduce opportunities for crime. In this case, a locked vehicle was targeted but remained secure, while an unsecured garage provided an opportunity for property to be taken.
Residents with exterior surveillance cameras in the area are encouraged to review footage recorded between 2:30 AM and 4:00 AM. If you witnessed suspicious activity or have surveillance footage that may assist this investigation, please contact the Longport Police Department at 609-822-2141 and ask for Sgt.
