| Woman Who Stole Donation Can For Teen With Cancer Arrested, Cops Say |
|
NJ.com — ELIZABETH — Police say they've busted the thief who stole a donation can for a teen battling cancer from a city bakery – and the city's police and fire unions have stepped up to more than replace the stolen funds.
The Feb. 15 surveillance video from Alkazar Bakery shows a woman in dark clothing swipe a large plastic jug that had roughly $350 in donations for Kevin Blanco, a 16-year-old from Kearny battling stage three Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Police used that video and other intelligence to charge Jessica Lopez, 27, of Elizabeth with the crime, according to Deputy Chief John Brennan.

| PRESS RELEASE - ELIZABETH FIREFIGHTERS RACE SANTA TO DELIVER HOLIDAY CHEER |
|
ELIZABETH, NJ – December 24, 2015 – With just days to spare Elizabeth Firefighters completed their yearly holiday benevolence. Every step of the way, at each ward’s tree lighting, at each special improvement district’s tree lighting, firefighters encountered a jolly man in a red suit, and even gave him a ride on a fire engine on a few occasions. This man, affectionately known as Santa Claus, brought smiles to the children of the city and inspired members to continue his work throughout the month.
FMBA Local 9 started the season off by donating toys to Ryan's Toy Roundup held again at Suspenders Restaurant and Pub. This yearly event honors the life of Ryan Faella, the late cousin of Local 9's members, Edward Sisk IV and Nicholas Sisk. “This is always a great event to start the season with because it honors a member of our extended firefighter family and puts into perspective what this season of giving is all about,” said Vice President David Bialas. The toys from Ryan’s Toy Roundup are donated to multiple charities in Elizabeth and around Union County.
