Press Release: Motor Vehicle Burglary

Car Burglar Breaks-in but Couldn’t Break-out!

On November 20, 2025, at approximately 8:29pm, Township of Hamilton Police responded to the area of Longhorn Steakhouse, for the report of a car burglary in progress. Upon arrival officers spoke with victim, who reported that when he walked over to his vehicle, he observed an unknown male sitting inside.

Here’s where the call takes an unusual twist. At this point in a motor vehicle burglary investigation, officers would typically be searching through video surveillance, looking for fingerprints or attempting to locate evidence that would help identify the suspect, but that wasn’t the case here. Unbeknownst to the burglar, identified as Jeison Henriquez Sanchez, 19/m from Pleasantville, the vehicle he chose to burglarize had faulty doors that couldn’t be opened from the inside; only the owner knew the trick. As a result, Sanchez was unable to exit the vehicle until officers arrived and opened the door for him.

Sanchez was taken into custody, charged with burglary and lodged in the Atlantic County Justice Facility on unrelated charges.

Chief Michael Virga and the Township of Hamilton Police Department want remind everyone: Don’t be a victim, please remember to remove any valuables from your vehicle and LOCK YOUR DOORS (unless you too have a faulty door)!
