UPDATE
The Fairfield Police Department is actively investigating an incident that occurred at a residence on Horseneck Road, on July 11, 2018. At approximately 9:51 P.M. the Fairfield Police received a 911 call regarding an unknown actor who assaulted the homeowner while she was exiting her vehicle in the driveway. The victim screamed for help and dialled 911 while fighting with the actor. The actor fled the scene on foot when another individual came out to see what was going on. Officers arrived and with the assistance of the North Caldwell and Montville Police Departments a perimeter was set up and a search of the area was conducted. Officers were unable to locate anyone in the area. The victim sustained non-life threatening injuries to include abrasions and cuts as a result of the assault. Preliminary investigation indicates that the motive for this crime was not robbery or sexual in nature and it remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Lieutenant Chuck Zampino at (973) 227-1400. Updated: 11:30am Friday, July 13 |

** CEDAR GROVE BURGLARY ARREST **
Last night around 10:26pm, a resident called Cedar Grove Police Department reporting that he had observed a male attempting to force entry into a newly constructed and unoccupied neighboring home. The resident stated the male was last seen going on foot on Stevens Avenue toward Little Falls.
Cedar Grove Officer Anthony Grigolo and Officer Joseph Ligas located the male on Stevens Avenue, who was later identified as Simon Strong, 38, of Elmwood Park.
When Strong could not provide a reasonable explanation for his actions, the officers continued to investigate further and discovered that Strong had originally given false information as to his Identity.
The officers then discovered that Strong was wanted by Passaic County Sheriff’s Department for Burglary and he was taken into custody.
During a search, Strong was also found to be in possession of a small amount of marijuana.
Cedar Grove Police charged Strong with:
- Burglary
- Hindering his own apprehension
- Possession of Marijuana
He was then subsequently transported to Passaic County Jail.
“The timely call from the alert resident was key. The call in
conjunction with the diligence of the officers clearly prevented this and possibly other crimes,” stated Chief Joseph Cirasa.

Roseland Mayor John Duthie Not Seeking Third Term
Mayor Duthie expressed:
"I am writing to let you know that I will not be seeking re-election to a third term as mayor of the Borough of Roseland.
I have enjoyed the time that I have spent serving our community. It’s hard to believe that I began my service to Roseland over 16 years ago as an appointed member of the Zoning Board of Adjustment, then as a council person, and now as mayor. Those years passed very quickly.
I am at a point now where I wish to enjoy some of the finer things that life has to offer. My family and my friends are anxiously awaiting my full attention and I can hardly wait to share it with them. My son Chris will enter his senior year of high school this fall and it is my desire to spend as much time as possible with him and my wife Lisa prior to Chris leaving the nest to attend college.
I look forward to completing my current term as mayor which expires December 31, 2018. I will continue to put forth my best effort while serving out the rest of my term. I thank everyone who has supported me during my tenure as a public servant and I pray that Roseland will remain the great place that it is now."
