Secaucus, NJ – Secaucus Police began investigating a tip regarding child sexual abuse material in September. The tip involved images and videos uploaded by a Harmon Cove Towers resident via Snapchat, X and Telegram.

The investigation revealed that a 15-year-old Secaucus resident was in possession of more than 900 images and videos containing child sexual abuse material. Detective Kristen Bronowich’s efforts revealed that the teen was trading these materials with others. Some of the content targeted preschool, elementary school, and teenage children. However, it is not known whether the minor knew the children pictured.

On Monday, authorities executed a search warrant at the teen’s home. Members of the Secaucus Police Detective Division, the New Jersey State Police ICAC Unit and the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit participated in the seizure of an electronic device during the search.

The teen’s charges include two counts of endangering the welfare of a child and two counts of invasion of privacy, stemming from a separate incident. In this incident, the teenager is said to have taken and distributed a photo of an acquaintance without her consent.

Bel Air, MD – In response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene in North Carolina and surrounding areas, the Harford County Sheriff’s Office organized a volunteer effort to support affected communities. Although the law enforcement team was initially assembled for possible deployment, it was ultimately not required for active duty.

Eager to provide assistance, the group of MPs decided to take action on their own. Led by Deputy First Class Matthew Elliot, Tyler Dinan, Lt. Nickolas Petrozzino and Capt. Scott Walter, the team collected donations and prepared relief packages for storm victims.

On Tuesday, Sheriff Gahler bid farewell to these dedicated deputies as they began their journey to North Carolina. The initiative demonstrates the deputies’ commitment to service, which is underscored by the full support of the Harford County community.

The gesture highlights MPs’ compassion and willingness to help those in need in difficult times. The Harford County Sheriff’s Office thanked everyone involved in organizing and executing the relief effort.
