A man going by the name of “Santa Claus” was caught breaking into a house in Midville, NJ. He was spotted on several rooftops in the city by the Midville police officers on patrol, who called for the SWAT team to apprehend the suspect. Patrol officers continued to follow and observe him on multiple rooftops across the city. The suspect was seen entering houses via the roof through chimneys and through “other means” according to the arrest report. The SWAT teams were never able to arrive before the suspect escaped, confusing and frustrating the patrol officers on scene. Undeterred, the SWAT officers set a trap by staking out the unburglarized home of “Emily Thomas” (name withheld for privacy reasons), a child known to be on the “Nice List”. The suspect was spotted on Miss Thomas's roof with an “unconventional vehicle” and collection of animals while officers waited inside the home to capture and arrest the holiday-dressed suspect. Upon breaking into the home, the officers attempted to arrest the Mr. Claus. However, he was able to keep the officers away by swinging a large cloth bag he was carrying, which contained boxed and gift wrapped items. Several officers used their tasers to subdue the suspect and place him under arrest. The county highway department sent over a crane to remove the vehicle, and animal control was on the scene to collect the wild animals from the roof. The police chief hailed his officers as heroes leading the fight against crime. He called the operation and eventual arrest of the suspect a “Christmas Miracle”. Santa Claus, whose known aliases include “Saint Nicholas”, “Father Christmas”, “Sinterklaas”, and “Your Basic Mall Santa”, pleaded not guilty to the charges of breaking and entering and resisting arrest. Bail was set at $10,000 and paid by a “Mrs. Claus”.
