During the public comment portion of the Wednesday, April 10, meeting of the Township Council, members of the public discussed increases in crime, flying the Israeli flag, and the town’s shooting range.
Crime Concerns
Lauren Scher of Thames Drive discussed her concerns about crime in town.
Specifically, Scher’s home was recently burglarized. Individuals broke into her home, stealing jewelry and other valuables.
She said that the experience was not only traumatic, but evident of an uptick in crime in Livingston, especially near Route 280, which many criminals use to quickly enter and exit town. Scher asked for an increased police presence to combat this issue.
Mayor A1 Anthony said that the Council was sorry that Scher experienced that, with Council member Shawn Klein calling it “gut-wrenching” to hear.
