March Police Blotter: DWI and Thefts Reported

Hillsborough police said the township’s March blotter included 12 driving-while-intoxicated arrests, shoplifting reports, thefts and damage to athletic fields. (patch.com) Patch reported the March blotter was released in April 2025 and listed incidents from March 1 through March 31. The article said the month included vandalism at soccer and cricket fields along with retail theft cases and intoxicated-driving arrests. (patch.com) One March case involved tire tracks found on soccer and cricket fields in Hillsborough, according to the blotter summary published by Patch. The same report said police also logged shoplifting and theft complaints during the month. (patch.com) The blotter is part of Hillsborough Township Police’s regular public updates on arrests and incidents. The department says residents can contact police at 908-369-4323 for non-emergencies and 911 for emergencies. (hillsboroughnj.gov) Hillsborough police and local outlets have published similar monthly blotters throughout 2025 and 2026, including reports covering July, September, October and December that also featured driving-while-intoxicated arrests and theft cases. Those recurring releases show the department uses monthly summaries to publish low-level crime and enforcement activity townwide. (patch.com 1) (patch.com 2) (patch.com 3) (patch.com 4) The police department’s website says it relies on “effective communication and cooperation” with residents. Monthly blotters fit that approach by putting specific arrests, theft complaints and property-damage reports into the public record soon after they happen. (hillsboroughnj.gov) For residents, the March report offered a snapshot rather than a trendline: a single month of arrests, theft complaints and field damage in a township that continues to post routine police updates online.
