Subjects fitting the description of individuals observed in the area were reported walking towards Route 33 with Asbury Park Police in foot pursuit. The two sheriff’s officers positioned themselves ahead of the subjects and apprehended two male fugitives, turning them over to the Asbury Park Police Department. Asbury Park Police apprehended a third subject involved in the incident. Responding Asbury police officer reported that no shots were fired, but rocks were thrown at a house, breaking a window.
