A Pennsylvania man and two teenagers were caught burglarizing a clothing store on Broadway early this morning, according to a police report.

Jessee Gossette, 43, of Folcroft, Pa., is charged with burglary, theft, resisting arrest, obstructing a governmental function, two counts of endangering the welfare of a child, and two counts of using a juvenile or younger in the commission of a crime.

At approximately 4 a.m., Jersey City police officers were dispatched to Wonder Bagel on Sip Avenue, and found the front door glass was shattered and the ATM machine inside the store was tampered with, the report states.

About a half hour later, cops were searching the area around Wonder Bagel when they saw Gossette walking out of the American Sportswear clothing store with two boxes, according to police. Gossette walked to a white Dodge Ram van and was attempting to unload the boxes when police stopped him, the report says.

Gossette immediately ran from the cops and scaled a 10-foot barbwire fence to get away, according to the report. However, police continued to search for Gossette and found him climbing a flight of stairs onto the CSX railroad tracks. Police followed and found him hiding under the railroad tracks and arrested him, the report says.
