PARSIPPANY — Patrol Officers E. Paseler and Z. Koch responded to an office complex on Interpace Parkway for a report of criminal mischief, on Saturday, April 25 at 11:35 p.m.
Upon their arrival, a 50 year old male employee advised the officers that he parked his 1999 red Ford F150 Pick-up truck along the wood line at this location.
Upon returning to the vehicle, he observed that unknown suspects removed the weather stripping surrounding the driver’s side window, all four tires flat and contents of the vehicle strewn about the interior.
Numerous items from the interior were also outside the vehicle and the suspects removed a can of soup from the vehicle, opened it and poured it into the vehicle’s gas tank and onto the driver’s side of the vehicle. The suspects then relocked the pick-up and fled the scene.
Officer Paseler viewed video surveillance from the premises’ security system which shows four (4) suspects walking away from where the vehicle was parked, toward Upper Pond Road at approximately 11:35 p.m.
Three of the four suspects are again observed walking toward where the vehicle was parked at approximately 12:17 a.m.
The suspects are all male, no definitive race.
One suspect is described as young with a thin build, wearing a zip-up dark hooded sweatshirt, yellow/blue sneakers and sweatpants.
Another suspect is wearing a hooded sweatshirt and sweatpants.
Another is wearing shorts or sweatpants rolled up, with bright orange sneakers.
The fourth suspect was out of camera focus and no clothing description could be obtained. No images were available at this time.
The area where the vehicle was parked is adjacent to 300 Interpace Parkway and Upper Pond Road.
