During the early morning hours on October 27, 2022, there were several attempted motor vehicle burglaries and a motor vehicle burglary with an item taken. With the assistance of our residents we were able to get clear video footage of the suspect entering and attempting to enter their vehicles. Due to a thorough investigation conducted by Detective Berger he was able to positively identify the suspect as Davante Q. Andrews, 18, of Newark, NJ. A warrant was issued for Mr. Andrews’s arrest for burglary, criminal attempt to commit theft, and conspiracy to commit theft. Mr. Andrews was apprehended by the Glen Ridge Police Department on January 6, 2023. Mr. Andrews has been remanded to the Essex County Correctional Facility awaiting his hearing. These charges are merely allegations and Mr. Andrews is presumed innocent until he is found guilty in a court of law. Thank you to the Glen Ridge Police Department, Livingston Police Department, Hillside Police Department and The New Jersey State Police for your assistance. Authorized by: Chief Darren Volker
