Jackson police seek public's help in finding man who was recorded trying to get into home
The victim, away at the time, received a ring notification that motion was detected.
The man was recorded trying to enter the home by using his shirt to open it without leaving fingerprints, police said.
The camera picked up an image of a detailed jewel-encrusted ring he wore on his right ring finger, police said.
Before attempting to open the front door, he was also recorded opening a gate to the backyard and walking in, police said.
The video surveillance footage showed a white sedan parked on Jackson Mills Road, but the license plate was not visible.
The man was sporting a trimmed beard and wearing a white shirt, navy Yankees cap, blue Nike shorts and white sneakers.
Police are urging anyone with information on the incident to email Police Officer Michael Zak at Mzak@jacksontwpnj.net or call the police department at 732-928-1111. Tips can be made anonymously, police said.

Seven killed in latest Ecuador pool hall shooting
Gunmen shot dead at least seven people at a pool hall in the Ecuadoran city of Santo Domingo, police said Sunday, in the country's latest gruesome massacre amid soaring gang violence. "Seven people died from gunshot wounds" at a pool hall in the nightlife district of Santo Domingo, about 150 kilometers (93 miles) west of the capital Quito, national police said in a WhatsApp group with reporters. Police said they were investigating the incident and hunting for those responsible. Purported security camera footage of the massacre circulating online showed several attackers wearing black masks open fire on two men standing at the entrance to the pool hall, sending pedestrians scrambling. The gunmen then entered the hall and continued shooting, fleeing before a police vehicle approached. AFP has not yet independently verified the footage. According to local media, preliminary investigations indicated that the killings may be related to organized crime in the region. A similar pool hall massacre took place last month in the southwestern tourist city of General Villamil Playas, leaving at least nine dead. And in April, armed men killed 12 people at a cockfighting ring around 30 kilometers from Santo Domingo. Once considered a bastion of peace in Latin America, Ecuador has been plunged into crisis after years of expansion by transnational cartels that use its ports to ship drugs to the United States and Europe. Drug trafficking organizations have been multiplying in Ecuador, where the homicide rate rose from six per 100,000 residents in 2018 to 38 per 100,000 in 2024. Between January and May, there were more than 4,051 homicides, according to official figures. Analysts say it is the most violent start to a year in the country's recent history. President Daniel Noboa's government has promised to crack down on crime, but despite widespread operations and constant states of emergency, there has been little reduction in the violence. Last weekend alone, 14 people were killed in massacres in the troubled province of Guayas, one of four provinces where Noboa recently declared a state of emergency to combat gang violence. Gangs vying for control of drug trafficking routes in Ecuador have taken advantage of the country's strategic location, its US-dollar-based economy, and the corruption of some authorities. According to official figures, 73 percent of the world's cocaine production passes through Ecuadorian ports. In 2024, the country seized a record 294 tons of drugs, mainly cocaine, compared to 221 tons in 2023. bur-des-aha/st

Don't Bomb Mexico, Mr. President
The State Department designated eight organized-crime syndicates based in Latin America as 'foreign terrorist organizations,' or FTOs, in February. In July it added a ninth. Last week the New York Times reported that President Trump has signed a secret 'directive' to the Pentagon to 'begin using military force against certain Latin American drug cartels.' The White House declined to tell me if the Times story is true. But on Thursday Reuters reported that the U.S. deployment of air and naval resources to the Caribbean to combat cartels had begun. Whether their mission is interdiction or something more invasive remains unclear.

ICE Arrests TikTok Influencer Who Documented Immigration Raids at Her Home on Livestream
An onlooker attempted to disrupt the detainment of Leidy Tatiana Mafla-Martinez by towing a police vehicle Colombian TikTok influencer Leidy Tatiana Mafla-Martinez was taken into ICE custody while live streaming from her home in Los Angeles. Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said Martinez was arrested in connection with a prior DUI. Newsweek reported Martinez, who is well-known on TikTok for posting videos that document several ICE arrests, was filmed on Friday seated in her Tesla when agents opened her car door and pulled her onto the pavement. She also appeared to experience a medical event during the arrest, and at one point onlookers are heard demanding treatment for her.

'He mocked and videotaped ICE officers chasing after him,' McLaughlin also told Newsweek. 'Secretary Noem has been clear: Anyone who seeks to impede law enforcement will be found and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.' Martinez was initially transported to White Memorial Hospital and is currently being held in a detention center in downtown Los Angeles. On Thursday, Los Angeles Rep. Jimmy Gomez accused ICE of staging an empty migrant detention center. 'One person was talking to the Mexican consulate who happened to be there, and the other person was just in the cell with their head down on a table or on the table or something. He was just kind of sitting there,' Gomez said of the center he visited recently. Gomez also questioned why the center was so empty despite the numerous arrests made recently. Nearly 2,800 people have been taken into ICE custody since early June. 'They've been running raids, even over the weekend, and all of a sudden there's no one there? That's just completely bizarre,' he told MSNBC's Jen Psaki. The post ICE Arrests TikTok Influencer Who Documented Immigration Raids at Her Home on Livestream appeared first on TheWrap.
