Plan to attack New York City collapsed after carjacked vehicle ran low on gas, police commissioner says.
The Boston Marathon bombers hatched a last-minute plot to detonate their remaining explosives in New York City's Times Square, but the scheme fell apart when they realized that their carjacked SUV was low on gas, city officials said Thursday. Although surviving terrorist Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, first told authorities that he and his brother, Tamerlan, planned to "party" in New York City after the Marathon bombings, more questioning revealed that the pair wanted to attack Manhattan last Thursday night, according to NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly. “We don’t know if we would have been able to stop the terrorists, had they arrived here from Boston, we’re just thankful we didn’t have to find out that answer," New York City Mayor Michael R. …

Undercover operation, new fines considered to stop texting, talking and driving around state.
State law enforcement officials are cracking down on distracted drivers in the Garden State announcing a new undercover police operation focusing on drivers who talk and text behind the wheel, a broadcast report said. Authorities told CBS 2 Monday drivers need to be made aware of the dangers involved with the practice. “It appears they’re not getting the message,” Cpl. Dennis Kardos of the North Plainfield Police Department said in the broadcast.” Last year we lost 3,300 lives across the country.” Currently, New Jersey drivers face a $130 ticket for distracted driving, the report said, but under a new bill being considered in the state Legislature, those fines could increase to $200 to $400 for a first offense and $600 to $800 plus three …

Officials say 115 guns turned in at New Milford collection site. Weapons ranged from rifles and shotguns to BB guns.
Bergen County’s second gun buyback netted almost twice the amount of firearms purchased about three years ago, including 115 weapons collected in New Milford. Before the doors to St. Matthews opened on Sunday, there was a crowd of 20 people already lined up and waiting and they kept on coming. In Teaneck, crowds were so heavy that by Sunday afternoon sheriff’s officers were scrambling to find more cash to keep the two-day buyback program running through its final two hours. "The last two days have been an overwhelming success," Sheriff's Office spokesman Richard Moriarty said. "We actually had to appeal to the prosecutor last night for more funds because we were running out of money very quickly." In total, the weekend buyback collected 1,…
Described as a 'hoarder,' the mummified body of Alice Klee, 68, is found by her landlord under debris in her apartment more than two months after the initial search of the unit.
New Milford police said Monday that the body of a missing 68-year-old woman was found by her landlord under a mountain of debris in the apartment they first searched two months ago. Alice Klee, who lived alone in the Main Street apartment, was last seen on Feb. 8.
