New Details Released In Stolen Cars In Tinton Falls, Wall Township

TINTON FALLS, NJ — State Police just released the full story of the two stolen car incidents in Tinton Falls and Wall Township on Sunday:

The first car stolen was a Kia Sportage, stolen out of Atlantic City. The stolen Kia, with three teenagers inside, two boys and a girl, crashed at 7:25 a.m. Sunday near Exit 100 on the Parkway south (the exit for Rts. 33/66, Ocean Grove, Bradley Beach, Freehold, Asbury Park and Neptune City).

All three teens got out and ran.

When State Police arrived at the scene of the crash, they discovered the Kia was reported stolen out of Atlantic City. Troopers and Tinton Falls Police established a perimeter, and located two of the teens: Quamir Kirkland, 18, of Franklin Township in Somerset, and a teen girl from Mount Laurel were arrested.

But then — just minutes later — Wall Township Police reported a Cadillac XT6 was just stolen from a home near the crash scene.

Police say the third occupant of the Kia, a teen boy from Atlantic City, had fled into a residential development in Wall Twp. and stole the Cadillac.

Troopers observed the stolen Cadillac driving north on the Parkway and tried to pull it over. The Cadillac failed to stop, and a vehicle pursuit was initiated.

The pursuit ultimately ended at a golf course in Colts Neck, where the third teen boy was taken into custody. During the pursuit, that teen struck two State Police cars with the Cadillac.

The teen was not named, as he is under 18.

Kirkland was charged with Receiving a Stolen Motor Vehicle, Resisting and Utilizing Juveniles in the Theft of a Motor Vehicle. The teen girl was charged with Receiving a Stolen Motor Vehicle and Resisting. The underage teen boy was charged with two counts of Receiving a Stolen Motor Vehicle, Resisting and eluding, two counts of Aggravated Assault on a Trooper, and two counts of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon.

Kirkland remains in the Monmouth County Jail; the underage teen boy was taken to the Middlesex County Juvenile Detention Center and the teen girl was released to the custody of her guardian.
