Motorcycles, ATVs and Plates Stolen

Hillsborough Township Police used their latest monthly blotter to detail a run of theft reports involving motorcycles, a dirt bike, ATVs and license plates taken from properties around the township. Patch’s Hillsborough site listed the item among its latest local crime headlines, and a separate Patch blotter report said police recorded 12 driving-while-intoxicated arrests in April. Hillsborough police say they distribute non-emergency public information through periodic blotters and the township’s SWIFT 911 alert system. The department’s non-emergency line is listed on the township police page. ### Which vehicles were reported stolen? Patch’s Hillsborough news page listed “Motorcycles, Dirt Bike, ATVs, License Plates Stolen In Hillsborough” among the site’s latest local crime stories. The headline matches the pattern of monthly blotter roundups published from Hillsborough Township Police information. A prior Patch blotter from the township showed how those reports are typically presented: individual entries identify the date, the street or neighborhood, the type of vehicle and, in some cases, an estimated value. Another Hillsborough blotter published by local media described separate reports of stolen motorcycles from community parking areas, underscoring that police blotters in the township often aggregate multiple theft complaints into one monthly release. ### What do we know about the April DWI arrests? Patch reported in a separate Hillsborough crime story that police made 12 DWI arrests in April. The article said the Hillsborough Township Police Department had released its blotter for that month. That figure appears in line with other recent monthly blotters from the township. Patch reported 11 DWI arrests in May 2024, 13 in September 2025 and 12 in October 2025, showing that the department routinely publishes monthly arrest totals alongside thefts, vandalism and other incidents. (patch.com) ### Where did these details come from? The Hillsborough Township Police Department says on its patrol-division page that it uses “a periodic crime blotter” to distribute non-emergency information to the public. The same page says the department also uses the SWIFT 911 alert system for road closures, emergency notifications and unusual events. The township police page lists Chief Mike McMahon as the department’s leader and gives the non-emergency phone number as (908) 369-4323. (patch.com) The site also says the department’s quality of service depends on communication and cooperation with residents. ### What should residents do if they see something suspicious? Hillsborough police have not, in the material reviewed, published a named suspect or announced arrests tied to the thefts listed in the latest headline. (hillsboroughnj.gov) The available public information points residents back to the department’s reporting channels rather than to a specific investigative update. The township’s police pages direct residents to call 911 for emergencies and use the listed non-emergency number for other police matters. (hillsboroughnj.gov) The patrol-division page also points residents to SWIFT 911 as the department’s main public-alert tool. ### How much of the underlying blotter is public right now? Patch’s Hillsborough landing page confirms the existence of the theft story, but the full text of that specific article was not directly accessible in the material surfaced here. (patch.com) What is public and verifiable is that Patch identified thefts of motorcycles, a dirt bike, ATVs and license plates in Hillsborough, and that another Patch blotter report tied April policing activity to 12 DWI arrests. (hillsboroughnj.gov) The next public update is likely to come through another Hillsborough Township Police blotter or a township alert. The department’s website says those blotters and SWIFT 911 notices are its standard channels for releasing non-emergency crime information. (hillsboroughnj.gov) (patch.com)
