Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin, the Division of Criminal Justice (DCJ), and the New Jersey State Police (NJSP) today announced an investigation into two individuals who, based on the investigation to date, eluded police while driving a vehicle that rammed multiple police and commuter vehicles at the entrance to the George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee, New Jersey. The two individuals in the vehicle were taken into custody.
As part of a developing investigation, during morning rush hour on Wednesday, February 7, 2024, law enforcement located and attempted to stop a Range Rover in Fort Lee as it approached the George Washington Bridge. Based on the investigation to date, the driver of the vehicle rammed officers’ and civilians’ vehicles while attempting to elude law enforcement. The vehicle was ultimately stopped and the driver and passenger — both juveniles — were taken into custody at the scene.
A joint investigation is underway by DCJ and the NJSP.
“I am grateful to law enforcement for successfully preventing serious injuries to commuters at the George Washington Bridge,” said Attorney General Platkin. “We will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to keep New Jerseyans and our roads safe.”
Question, I understand the scoop to be a very local source of news. That is why I guess you didn’t report on the 2 released hostages. ?? But why report this? It doesn’t involve us here in lkwd at all? As the scoop is my only source of info, I didn’t hear about the hostages. Telling myself it’s because you only do local.news. but this?
In fact, it was reported as it was happening.

Thanks. I’m not on the status….. hatzlocha!
From the every so often free job listing article, I have come to conclude that a significant portion of the tls readership only receive their news from the website.
But for those who don’t have Instagram and WhatsApp they were left in the dark abt the very happy news of the 2 hostages found alive and well bH.
Important news that should be shared should be put in the reg scoop online for those that use this as their source of impt to know news. Thanks.
