EVESHAM, NJ – DNA evidence found at the scene of a 2019 smash-and-grab robbery at the Route 73 Target has led police to their suspect.

In the late night hours on July 25, 2019, Evesham police officers responded to a burglar alarm at the Target store. At around 2:30 am, police arrived to find the glass front door smashed and surveillance video captured three men robbing over $14,000 worth of electronics from the business.

The scene was processed by detectives, who found DNA evidence on the broken glass door. That evidence was analyzed by a lab, and this week, police had enough evidence to charge Quentin A. Murphy, age 31, of New Castle, Delaware, with burglary, theft, and criminal mischief.

Now, police are looking for Murphy, who is considered to be a fugitive from the law. Police are asking anyone who may know his whereabouts to call the Evesham Police Department at 856-983-1116.

His two accomplices remain unidentified.
