Social Media Post On Marlboro NJ Residents Site Is False: Police

MARLBORO, NJ — The Marlboro Township Police Department is debunking a social media post on the “Marlboro NJ Residents Page” that referred to a carjacking in town, police said Wednesday.

The post not only referenced a carjacking but said someone "was being followed home" from a grocery store on Route 9, police said.

But police said the report is false.

"Be advised that no such incident took place in Marlboro Township and we are not currently investigating any incidents of that nature," police said on the Marlboro police Facebook page.

The Marlboro NJ Residents Page is private, and has over 14,000 members, the site says.

But Marlboro police said that, if an incident took place that residents would need to be aware of, the Police Department "would get the information out to our community as quickly and as accurately as possible."

The police said "The safety of our residents, businesses and visitors to Marlboro Township is our top priority. We urge anyone that is a victim of a crime or witness to a crime, in Marlboro or beyond our borders, to report the incident to the police."
