Manhunt Underway For Burglary, Car Theft Suspect: Teaneck Police

TEANECK, NJ — Police are asking for the public's help in finding a suspect wanted for burglarizing a Teaneck business, police Chief Andrew McGurr said.

A man was seen on surveillance footage forcibly entering through the back of Noah Auto Repair Shop on Queen Anne Road just after midnight Friday, thus setting off the alarm. He had pulled up, the video showed, in a GMC Envoy that was reported stolen out of New York, and parked outside, McGurr said.

The suspect had tried to leave the building out the front, but he appeared to have spotted the approaching police car, and instead retreated out the back before running away from the area, the chief said.

Officers set up a perimeter and searched the area with Sheriff's Office K9 but were not able to find the suspect, described as black, wearing black pants and a black hooded sweatshirt, police said.

As of Monday afternoon, the suspect still has not been found, and the investigation is ongoing, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Teaneck police at 201-837-2600
