Two males from Asbury Park were charged with theft near Constitution & Columbus Blvds.! Hasn't Asbury Park's crimnal elemnt exploited the law abiding residents of Ocean Grove, Neptune, Interlaken, Deal, & surrounding municipalities enough-theu have to scout new territory hear in Manchester? "The above charges may not be an indication of guilt." I guess that disclosure is necessary. All residents need to be observant & report any suspicious activity to the police since it appears we are being invaded by those seeking a more vulnarable hunting ground. This preceding an ex-resident of Ocean Grove.
