Police in South Jersey suspect an organized ring could be behind the recent rash of ATV and dirt bike thefts. Here’s why.

A rash of thefts targeting ATVs and dirt bikes in South Jersey have led police to believe it is likely part of an organized ring. FOX 29's Steve Keeley went to Washington Township and spoke to one victim who says his expensive ATV was stolen right after he posted it on social media. "It's a big vehicle. I mean it's not a small quad, probably the size of a standard car," Joe Boccuti said of his very big and now very stolen all-terrain vehicle.

"The motorcycles that were stolen in Berlin were inside a shed. The homeowner looked out back early in the morning, saw her shed locks poked, and ran out and saw her family's three motorcycle bikes stolen," said Chief Patrick Gurcsik of the Washington Township Police Department."And you think these could be related?" inquired Keeley."Yes, so we've been in contact with the New Jersey State Police and also with the police over in Berlin.
