FRANKLIN BOROUGH, NJ (Sussex County) – A 24-year-old Passaic County man was charged last month after attempting to enter vehicles in Franklin Borough.
On July 31, police received a complaint about a male suspect entering private properties without authorization and attempting to enter vehicles and a motor home in the area of Hilltop Lane, and High Point Circle, officials said.
