NJ Police Hunt for Escapees with Jersey Shore Connections

The New Jersey Department of Corrections is searching for a couple of felons who have escaped custody.

Authorities are looking for information that will lead to the capture of these dangerous felons.

If you have information about their whereabouts, you are advised to call 9-1-1.

All tips are 100% confidential.

At no time should you ever attempt to take the law into your own hands.  These subjects should be considered armed and dangerous.

Both subjects have ties to the Jersey Shore area.
