The Wyckoff Police Department called for the Bergen County K-9 to pursue an Oakland teenager who threatened another Oakland teen with an ice pick at Boulder Run Shopping Center. The assailant fled and temporarily escaped, but the ice pick was recovered in a flower bed at Boulder Run the day after the Aug. 3 incident. Police said that, at 10:10 p.m. on Aug. 3, the department responded to a call from the Boulder Run Shopping Center that a knife fight was in progress. When police officers arrived, they encountered a large group in the parking lot, and when the offenders were pointed out to the police, several of the accused fled on foot. An investigation disclosed that an argument had occurred between a 16year-old Oakland boy and a 15-year-old Oakland boy. The older boy reportedly threatened the younger boy by holding an ice pick to his chest and threatening to Police pursue teen after ice pick threat stab him. The Bergen County Police K9 unit and other local departments were contacted to help search for the fugitive assailant, but he was not found. The next day, Wyckoff Sergeant Jack McEwan found the boy at his home and charged him with possession of a weapon and making terroristic threats. The complaints will be heard in Bergen County Juvenile Court. Detective Sergeant Michael Musto, Sergeant Brian Zivkovich, Patrolman Andrew Poremba, Patrolman Terrance Murphy, and Patrolman William Plisich assisted in the investigation.

Wyckoff has, in recent months, faced a number of home burglaries and curbside or driveway thefts. Chief Fox and other police officers have urged residents to keep an eye on their neighborhoods and report any strangers or unknown cars, especially during evening hours. One auto thief was captured when trying to steal a Wyckoff resident’s car the same day he had been released from prison. The arrest was made due to neighborhood surveillance and a quick police response. Some of the police officers, in fact, were coming back from a public meeting on neighborhood surveillance when they got the alert and were able to get to the scene almost instantly. A third ordinance adopted last week transferred $150,000 from surplus to capital accounts in case of road and sewer repair needs. Long-time resident Sue Winton asked for an explanation of the transfer, and did not object when she was told that the matter was routine.
