Alleged Toll Machine Bandit Tops Weird Crime News

Written and reported by Bryan Littel.

Each week, Patch combs through the more shocking, surprising and often absurd alleged criminal acts and police-related incidents that unfold around the region. Here’s what went on in the last week for OMG PD.

Right up there with locking your doors: A Collingswood man found out the hard way it's not a great idea to leave your car unlocked and running, even if you're just running into the house for a minute. That's all it took for a Camden teen to jump in a Jeep, take off down the White Horse Pike... and crash into a parked car when officers tried to pull him over, police said.
Way better than Lionel Hutz: Caleb McGillvary, better known as Kai the Hitchhiker, who made stops in Cherry Hill and Haddonfield after allegedly killing a man in Union County, could get some high-profile representation from an attorney who defended both Reuben "Hurricane" Carter and alleged mobster Anthony DeVingo.
Two for the price of one... arrest: A Camden man got away with it once, but when he returned to Cherry Hill Transmission a day later and tried to steal a second car, officers nabbed him not far from the Route 38 business, police said. Alfonso F. Torres faces two counts of motor vehicle theft after confessing to both jobs, police said.
Quartermaster: State Police are looking for a man they say hiked out of the Wood's Edge development in Gloucester Township, broke into a toll collection machine at the Atlantic City Expressway's Cross Keys exit and grabbed an unspecified amount of coins from the machine.
