Teky0101 6 Posted October 22, 2011 Hello Everyone, Last night my brother and I heard a helicopter around 10:45 flying near our home. We were watching tv and the sound came and left but over a period of five mins the helicopter's sound got progressivly louder. My brother and I then stepped out onto the porch to take a look what is going on and about 250ft across from our house was the helicopter. We watch it fly around a bit then it cuts on a huge spotlight and flys around then lights up our street. Shortly after that police with hand held spotlights starting driving around out neighborhood. They went around several times then later we heard a loud whistle and see about seven police cards go down our back street. Later we see the helicopter fly away and they start checking the area of greenfields. I check all over the South Jersey news but I could not find anything regarding this issue. It had to be something major to involve this many police and as far as I know it must of been state police since I do not think local police have their own helicopters. Does anyone have any idea what the heck was going on?! Never the less we made sure everything was well locked last night! This was just unnerving!

Fishpaw 17 Posted October 22, 2011 If you have a smart phone...download a police scanner app....here is a good one and its free 5-0 police radio Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teky0101 6 Posted October 22, 2011 I will go with Toxic Avenger..LOL! Fishpaw I actually do have that app and the scanner going but nothing was being reported. It was truely odd, it looked like a manhunt! I was wondering if there was some crazy armed person going through our neighbourhood! If anyone hears anything please let me know.

BigHayden 77 Posted October 24, 2011 I didn't even notice anything going on. WD is nice and quiet over by my house. Of course it's quiet. There's no real industry left in WD, so all those vacant buildings do keep the township pretty quiet. Vote Chintall and Cianfarini! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raz-0 1,259 Posted October 24, 2011 Several years ago when I was still in an apartment complex, we had the circling helicopter and hoards of uniformed officers crawling all over the place. Absolutely nothing on the news. I had to ask several LEOs in order to find out it was the end of a low speed chase resulting form an amber alert and a parental unit gone off his meds. Nobody was being particularly secretive, it was more of a non event except for the bit with the helicopter? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lost of break-ins in Greenfields village lately, one occured the other day. Person broke into house from backyard and led into a manhunt with k-9 dogs from Mantua. If you pm me a street by you or a specific section of town I may be able to get you a pretty good and reliable story of what happened. I live on the school side of Holly drive.

Arbelest 29 Posted April 20, 2012 Prompted the wife and I to harden security in our home. Strongly suggest that. Also to my fellow WD residents, there are neighborhood watch groups in place for almost every section of WD. They do email sutff about what has been going on around the township and if you have information about a specific event to let the PD know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teky0101 6 Posted April 22, 2012 Hi Jrzyguy29, I actually never found out what the source of the commotion was but I hope they caught the person who was running. According to the crime logs WD & Mantua have been having lot of drug issues. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
