Cops: 3 broke car windows

Three Jersey City residents were arrested Tuesday night when a witness saw them breaking car windows on Oakland Avenue, police said.

Edwin Alvarez Reid, 20; Vernon Johnson, 20; and Marisol King, 21, were arrested at 11:47 p.m. and charged with burglary and criminal attempt, according to police reports.

An eyewitness saw all three break the driver's side window of a 1994 Mercedes and break the rear passenger window of a 2007 Toyota RAV4, cops said. The witness said Reid entered the RAV4, parked on Oakland and Washburn Street, police said.

Police saw the three walking toward McPherson Place. When they were approached, Reid began to curse and become irate while King started yelling and crying, cops said.

According to police, King said she had nothing to do with breaking the windows and wanted to go home to her 2-year-old daughter.

All three were identified by eye witnesses, police said.
