Jets center stops a N.J. crime spree

While Jets center Nick Mangold makes his living protecting quarterbacks on the gridiron, on Sunday morning he may have thrown the decisive block to end a crime spree in his New Jersey neighborhood.

Mangold placed an emergency 911 call at 5:30 a.m. that morning after he heard his car alarm go off and found his garage door opened. Not long after, police stopped two suspects nearby and placed them into custody.

Richard W. Isaacs, 19, of Orange (N.J.), and Leonard Watts, 18, of Newark, face charges including burglary and theft, after being named the prime suspects in a ring of 48 burglaries of unlocked cars in the area of Chatham, a village not far from Florham Park, where the Jets are headquartered.

They, along with three other juveniles, will be charged in what police call a concerted burglary ring.
