GALLOWAY, NJ — In a significant crackdown on commercial burglaries spanning New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, Galloway Township Police, in conjunction with multiple law enforcement agencies, have successfully apprehended two key suspects. The arrests occurred early this morning as part of a coordinated multi-jurisdictional operation.

Devin J. Arnold, 22, was arrested at his residence in Galloway Township after a brief attempt to flee from police. Laqua A. Tucker, 20, was taken into custody at his home in Pleasantville, NJ, where he surrendered without incident. The police action followed extensive inter-agency investigations that identified the duo as suspects in a series of commercial burglaries across the three states.

Chief Richard D. Barber highlighted the operation’s success, stating, “Today’s operation is a prime example of how multi-agency efforts and cooperation can lead to successful outcomes. Galloway is proud to work with our fellow law enforcement partners to investigate and solve crime that affects the public throughout New Jersey.”

Both Arnold and Tucker were processed on outstanding warrants from various jurisdictions and are currently held at the Atlantic County Justice Facility, awaiting future court proceedings. This arrest marks a pivotal moment in ongoing efforts to combat commercial burglary and underscores the effectiveness of collaborative law enforcement operations.
