HOBOKEN – When three women got out of their car to deal with people throwing snowballs on New Year’s Eve in Hoboken, the vehicle somehow disappeared, according to a police report.
A car with four Hoboken women was reportedly ambushed by a team of approximately 10 snowball throwers at 3 a.m. on Jan. 1 near First Street and Park Avenue, according to police. A report says that while three of the women exited the vehicle to approach the snowball throwers, one woman stayed behind in the backseat. When the altercation with the snowball throwers ended, the three Hoboken women returned to find the car missing. They stated that they had not seen anyone get in the vehicle and drive it away, according to a police report.
A visit to the then missing woman’s home to find her yielded negative results, according to police. After police called the woman’s cell phone in an attempt to obtain her location by way of a “ping” through T-Mobile, an officer responded back to the victim’s residence and found that the woman was safe at home, according to the report. According to one report, the woman stated that she was let out of the car in Union City
“It is unknown what transpired or if the vehicle was actually stolen,” according to a police report. “Further investigation was ongoing.”
