Justin Lamb. The incident occurred at about 6:30 p.m. Monday night, ultimately resulting in a pursuit up the island that had to be called off due to high speeds. In the hours following the incident, a high police presence could be seen locally, and for a short period the Mantoloking Bridge was closed to traffic.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11299\" style=\"width: 483px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/lavallette-seaside\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image0-1.png\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"The suspect in an attempted vehicle and home break-in, followed by a police chase, May 9, 2022.
