Police received a call from a business on Old Post Road in Cross River that a group of kids were in the back lot breaking glass. The business owner told police that he yelled at the kids and they ran off. When police interviewed the man, who lives above the business, he said he saw six people leave in a Nissan Pathfinder after he yelled at them and head east on Route 35. He said the vehicle had a New York plate but he could not make out the number. Another person at the business confirmed the story and said he could ID some of those in the vehicle.
