WILDWOOD CREST — A borough woman was charged Monday after police found the car she was driving had been stolen from a Philadelphia rental company.
At 12:25 p.m., officers responded to Fern Avenue for a complaint between a landlord and a tenant, according to a post on the department’s Facebook page.
A number of inmates are set to be released this week from South Jersey jails after an order was signed by a state judge aimed at mitigating the risk of COVID-19 spreading through the facilities statewide.
While they were investigating, police learned the car used by Cristel Hibbs, 44, was reported stolen from Hertz Rental Car in Philadelphia, according to the post.
Hibbs was arrested and charged with receiving stolen property and was released on a summons with a pending court date.
Borough police advised the Philadelphia Police Department about recovering the car, as well as Hibbs’ arrest, police said.
Officers involved include Brian Harrison, Shane Moyer, Cpl. William Gianakopoulos, Sgt. Christopher Webb and Detective James Collins.
