Arson At Gloucester Township Field Of Dreams Under Investigation

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ — Gloucester Township police are asking for the public’s help to find eight juveniles who set fire to a trashcan at the Field of Dreams baseball field last week.

Police posted video on Friday morning that can be seen below and shows the juveniles walking across the field to a trash can near third base at about 2 a.m. on July 29.

One set fire to a 55-gallon plastic trash can, while another attempted to set fire to a plastic bottle that was in the dugout, police said. They then fled as the fire in the trashcan grew excessively large, police said.

One boy appears to be wearing a sports team tank top with a large “11” on the back. Another boy appears to be wearing a crown on his head and a light colored shirt. One girl with dark hair appears to be wearing a mini skirt and white shirt, while the other girl is wearing black shorts, crop top, and purse backpack.

Anyone who can identify the suspects in the video and pictures below is asked to call the Gloucester Township Police Department at 856-228-4500, or call the GTPD Anonymous Crime Tip Line: 856-842-5560.
