Tomorrow (5/30), Townsquare Media’s WKXW-FM, Trenton “New Jersey 101.5” will present a town hall titled, “Locked Down: Defending Your Car and Home from Theft.” This comes after the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office reported that more than 16,000 vehicles were stolen in 2023, a 4% increase
over 2022, and that home break-ins to get key fobs are on the rise. New Jersey 101.5 senior political director Eric Scott says, “These are not teens looking for a joyride. Sophisticated criminal enterprises are behind the majority of car thefts in New Jersey with proceeds being used to fund international crime and terrorism.” The program’s panel will include New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin, Monmouth County Sheriff Shaun Golden, Marlboro Mayor Jonathan Hornik, New Jersey Congressman Josh Gottheimer, and Christine O’Brien, president of the Insurance Council of New Jersey.
