BRICK – Following last week’s shooting incident near the Brick Memorial High School, Brick Police have stepped up patrols in certain areas of town, yielding 19 arrests in just three days.
Detectives from the Brick Police Department joined forces with the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Narcotics Strike Force and Ocean County Sheriff’s Office to target specific areas with high levels of criminal activity, including areas which were frequented by the juveniles arrested in connection to last week’s shooting incident.
Authorities arrested 19 individuals between Oct. 23 and 26 on charges of possession of controlled dangerous substances, possession with intent to distribute controlled dangerous substances, possession of paraphernalia, disorderly conduct, hindering apprehension, and outstanding warrants. The drugs for which arrests were made included crack cocaine, heroin, MDMA/Ecstasy and marijuana, according to police.
“Our community was shaken by the senseless acts of violence which occurred last week. It’s important for our residents to know that we will always do everything we can to keep our community safe and our township peaceful,” said Police Chief Riccio.
Brick Police noted that patrols in these areas will continue in order to seek out those engaging in and responsible for criminal activity.

Keep the scum off the street ?
CRUSH THEM!!!
Make it too difficult for then to live in Brick.
Good work BPD
Please put more officers out on Hooper and Brick Blvd especially in the morning and rush hour at night with all the speeders!!
I see every day people going soo far over the speed limit cutting people off and getting on your tail if you do even close to the speed limit…with all the accidents there should be at least a dozen officers out there every day and I rarely ever see 1!!!
Something needs to be done…every day it’s getting worse…its like the indy 500 and no cops in sight n that’s why their all doing it!!!
Lisa Janusz I think after all the homicides and shootings,most of their man power is on those cases
Lisa Janusz thinking with all the other issues surrounding the area, some fast and erratic drivers are the least of our worries. Drugs and violence certainly trump speeding
Bernie Neuhaus the speeding was going on long before this crime spree and not enough cops were out there.. Look up how many deaths have been from accidents in Ocean county the last 6 months…most involving speeding…way more…
I never said don’t investigate crimes.
Switch to decaf!!!
Don’t slow down. Keep up the extra surveillance. The more police out there the better ?
What part of town
God bless the men in blue,keep up the good job. Take back your community.
Deborah Cleary are you serious
Jason Carey Wtf have they been doing before? Working 80 hours a week and mostly sleeping.
Fantastic for the Brick Police! Keep it up!
Jill Hughes
BUT I DINDUNUFFIN!
Throw the book at all these pieces of shit
I remember when Brick use to have the label as safest community in the country… What happened to that. Is it the Mayor ? Is it the Police Chief? Could it have to do with the diverse element of people pushed out of Lakewwod? Whatever it is the Mayor and Police Chief need to get a handle on it…
Craig Saltarelli completely agree. It’s not the police force in general, it’s the administration
I could have given them a name if they wanted to make it an even 20
While the police get crime off the street, Murphy and his fellowship place more.
Sean Vincent always someone to bring politics into it. Relax social justice warrior
Curtis Curtis, you need to re-evaluate the term SJW
ghee whiz…it only took a kid getting shot….smh
To bad they all will be back on the streets with a slap on the hand because the ocean county court system sucks!!
