Attempted Vehicle Burglary in Lake Parsippany; 3 Suspects in Custody

PARSIPPANY — In the early morning hours on Tuesday, December 29, Officers responded to an attempted vehicle burglary which was captured on CCTV by a resident on Prospect Road in Lake Parsippany.

While on the scene, the Parsippany Police Department’s Communication Center received a call reporting a motor vehicle crash in the area of Marmora Road and Frontage Road. The caller further advised multiple people exited the vehicle and fled on foot, according to Sergeant Brian Conover.

Responding officers located the vehicle which was determined to be stolen. Due to the likelihood that both incidents were related, neighboring towns were requested to assist in setting up a perimeter.

During the incident, other residents called our Communication Center reporting unknown individuals running through their yards in the Lake Parsippany area.

During the course of the initial investigation, three individuals were located and detained by the responding Troopers and Officers.

A firearm was located in the area where one suspect was found.

Parsippany Officers also took multiple reports of vehicle burglaries as residents woke up and checked their vehicles.

If you believe your vehicle was broken into, please do not enter the vehicle and contact our non-emergency number (973) 263-4300.

Morris Plains Police Department, Hanover Police Department, Human Services Police Department, Morris County Park Police, Morris County Sheriff’s Office CSI and K-9 Units, and the New Jersey State Police, along with their Aviation Bureau assisted in the investigation.

These incidents remain under investigation and anyone with information is asked to contact the Parsippany Police Department’s Investigative Division at (973) 263-4311.

Chinese Christian Church Donates $6,000 to Community Food Banks

PARSIPPANY — To help alleviate the growing shortage of food and donations at our area Food Banks, the Chinese Christian Church of New Jersey recently made two significant donations.  On December 11, CCCNJ donated $3,000 to Table of Hope’s Mobile Food Pantry program.  On November 6, CCCNJ had already donated $3,000 to Parsippany’s Food Pantry.

Mayor Michael Soriano was on hand to receive both check donations from Pastor Paul Shen of CCCNJ.  Mayor Soriano thanked Pastor Paul for his team of six driver volunteers who deliver the Food every Friday from the Liquid Church distribution point to more than 30 home-bound families in the Parsippany and Lake Hiawatha area.
CCCNJ’s Food Delivery Drivers: Lenny Voo, Rev. Paul Shen, Mayor Soriano, Andrew Lie, Kai Hsieh.

Dawn King of Table of Hope was pleased that the recent $3,000 donation will help Table of Hope purchase fresh vegetables and fruits in addition to the non-perishable canned food that is distributed.

Morris County Voters Should Not Be Fooled

MORRIS COUNTY — The Morris County Republican Committee announced a local version of Donald Trump’s famed “Voter Fraud Task Force”. Morris County voters should not be fooled. MCRC’s task force has nothing to do with voter confidence, and everything to do with internal MCRC confidence.

Republicans in Morris County have lost over 30 elected offices to Democrats in recent years. Towns such as Parsippany, Morris Township, the Chathams, Mendham, and Mountain Lakes, which had no Democrats elected to office a few years ago, have seen substantial Democratic gains. Morris County is changing, and Republican elected officials have refused to keep pace with the will of the voters.

Meanwhile, Morris County Democrats are organized, engaged, and listening to the concerns of our constituents. That’s why our party has won over the former GOP strongholds mentioned above. The year-to-year trends are clear, and Republican Mayors and councilmembers have lost confidence in MCRC’s ability to win elections.

Next year, MCRC will face divisive primaries for Governor, Legislative District 26, and Parsippany Mayor, to name a few. In the wake of these brewing contests, this task force is nothing more than a flailing attempt to maintain control of an antiquated and deteriorating organization.

While Morris Republicans are busy blaming election officials for the county’s changing political landscape, Democrats will be meeting with voters of all political affiliations to improve the quality of life for our residents. We look forward to many more years of progress in Morris County and thank our candidates and elected officials for always putting our residents first.

Tommy Wall Receives Plaque of Appreciation

PARSIPPANY — Cindy Stavrou, PTSA President, presented Tommy Wall, Wall Landscaping with a plaque showing the appreciation and thanks on behalf of Parsippany Hills High School Administration for the work on the beautification project recently completed at the school.

The PHHS PTSA with the help of principal Dr. Matt Thompson and administrators, PTSA decided to put its efforts outside with Phase 1 of the beautification project.

Through difficult times, they were able to meet with Tommy Wall of Wall Landscaping, a former student of PHHS, who found it in his heart to donate his services to the beautification project. Tom and Tyler of Cerbos Garden Center worked out all the details and planning. They came up with a plan including over 100 plantings, including yuccas, boxwoods, castle spine holly, various grasses, junipers, barberry, and over five yards of river bed stone. The mulch was donated from the board of education.

Cerbos matched the PTSA donation with donating extra plantings. The majority of the landscaping costs were made possible by Paul Miller Porsche of Parsippany and Wegmans of Hanover donations. An extrasolar lighting unit was also donated by the PTSA to help aluminate the front entrance sign on Rita Drive.

Paul Miller Porsche of Parsippany has been an ongoing supporter of Parsippany Hills High School. They have sponsored several teacher appreciation luncheons, contributed to the project graduation events, and this year they were our largest sponsor for the beautification project.

Wegmans also donated to the project to help absorb some of the cost of the landscaping planting.
