The destination for stolen cars is often an overseas location. As vehicle theft numbers take a sharp upswing in New Jersey, the “last line of defense” is usually U.S. Customs and Border Patrol. Darias News visited CBP in Elizabeth and Newark to discuss their law enforcement work. (The official name of the Customs locations visited for this report is the Port of New York/Newark, New Jersey. They are more commonly referred to as Port Newark and Port Elizabeth.)
CORRECTION: The SUV that crashed in Paramus was allegedly stolen in the Township of Washington (Bergen County), not Washington Township which is in Gloucester County.
PRODUCTION NOTE: There are time references in the story such as “earlier this month” or “last week.” This story was meant to be posted in late August 2021.
This is part three of a series of reports.
In part one, Darias News broke the story about the large increase in auto theft during an interview with New Jersey State Police. LINK:

Part two shows dramatic Paramus Police Department dash cam video of a high speed chase of an alleged stolen SUV on Route 17 South, which resulted in a crash and stunning get-away by a passenger. LINK:
