LOWER TWP., NJ — The New Jersey State Police is calling for public assistance to identify a suspect involved in a watercraft incident at a bathing beach in Lower Township, Cape May County. The incident occurred on May 25, 2024, around 3:20 p.m., involving erratic operation of a blue Yamaha personal watercraft.
Marine Services troopers attempted to conduct a stop after observing the erratic behavior.

He subsequently fled on foot after returning to shore. Notably, the suspect has a large tattoo on his back and another tattoo on his right forearm, which may help in his identification.
