MANCHESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ— A Manchester Township man was sentenced to seven years in New Jersey State Prison on Friday after pleading guilty to arson, bias intimidation, and criminal mischief in connection with a series of incidents that occurred in June 2023. Ron Carr, 35, received the sentence from the Honorable Guy P. Ryan, P.J.Cr.P., in Ocean County Superior Court.
Carr was sentenced to seven years for arson, five years for bias intimidation, and 18 months for two counts of criminal mischief. All sentences will run concurrently. Carr had entered guilty pleas to all charges on June 20, 2024.
The charges stem from events that began late on June 6, 2023, when Manchester Township Police responded to reports of vandalism at Pine Lake Park. Fourteen homes were defaced with spray paint, including Nazi symbols. Officers gathered a description of the suspect involved.
In the early hours of June 7, 2023, police were called back to Pine Lake Park after a house was destroyed by fire. The flames damaged three additional homes and spread to nearby woods. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. Witnesses reported seeing an individual near the scene, matching the description of the vandalism suspect.
A short time later, officers apprehended Carr in the vicinity of Commonwealth Boulevard and Larchmont Street. Further investigation confirmed that Carr was responsible for both the vandalism and the arson. He was taken into custody without incident and has been held at the Ocean County Jail since his arrest.
Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer commended the efforts of law enforcement in swiftly bringing Carr to justice, stating that the sentence reflects the severity of Carr’s actions.

Philadelphia Man Arrested After Robbery at Cinnaminson AT&T Store
CINNAMINSON TOWNSHIP, NJ (Saturday, August 17, 2024) — A Philadelphia man was apprehended Friday evening after an attempted robbery at an AT&T store in Cinnaminson Township, police said. The suspect, believed to be part of a criminal group involved in multiple robberies across four states, was taken into custody following a brief foot chase and search involving a K-9 unit.
Cinnaminson Township Police were dispatched to the AT&T store at 1253 S Route 130 around 8 p.m. on August 16 in response to a robbery in progress. Upon their arrival, officers observed a getaway vehicle speeding away from the parking lot. Meanwhile, a second suspect exited the store and fled on foot after being confronted by Officer Josh Lillagore.
Officer Lillagore pursued the suspect on foot, but the suspect evaded capture by hiding in the nearby Sweetwater Condominium complex. A perimeter was quickly established, and Officer Harry Cicale, along with his K-9 partner Bane, initiated a search for the suspect. Bane successfully located the suspect hiding under a bush within the complex. Officers Robert Young and Kai Leibfried then took the suspect into custody without further incident.
The suspect, whose name has not been released, has been charged with second-degree robbery, third-degree conspiracy, third-degree criminal attempt, third-degree resisting arrest by flight, fourth-degree obstruction, and fourth-degree tampering with evidence. He was remanded to the Burlington County Jail.
Authorities believe the suspect is linked to approximately 33 other robberies in Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. The Cinnaminson Township Police Department expressed gratitude to the Maple Shade, Riverton, and Palmyra Police Departments, as well as the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), for their assistance in the incident.
