NORTH BERGEN AND BEYOND — A North Bergen man disappeared on Friday after dropping off his family at an Atlantic City casino — and police say a video showed a hooded man using his ATM card two and a half hours later in Egg Township, 25 miles west off the Atlantic City Expressway, according to media reports.
Then, four hours after the man disappeared, police found his empty car in flames in a parking lot even further northwest in Gloucester Township, again off the Expressway.

Martin Caballero, of North Bergen, and his family arrived at the Trump Taj Mahal Casino at about 10:30 p.m. He dropped his wife and stepdaughter off at the casino’s porte-cochere entrance, police said.
Caballero hasn’t been seen since. Relatives first thought Caballero had gone into the casino.
Authorities said they have a grainy surveillance photo of a hooded man using Caballero’s ATM card to make a withdrawal at 1:01 a.m. Saturday in the Cardiff section of Egg Harbor Township.
Early Saturday, about 50 miles northwest of Atlantic City, police in Gloucester Township found his unoccupied, burned-out car.
Caballero is described as 5-feet, 10-inches tall, weighing 180 pounds with blue eyes and light skin. Relatives say he was wearing a black dress shirt, black jeans and black shoes Friday. Anyone with information is urged to call 609-347-5766.
