1. On October 28th, 2025, members of the Guttenberg Police Department’s Patrol
Division attempted to conduct a motor vehicle stop for a male driving a scooter who
committed various motor vehicle violations. The male on the scooter failed to stop and
eluded our officers, driving into North Bergen. Our agency relayed this information to
our surrounding jurisdictions and we were quickly notified by the North Bergen
Police Department that they had located the scooter we attempted to stop. Members
of our Patrol Division and Criminal Investigations Bureau immediately responded.
Our officers then uncovered that the scooter was stolen from Jersey City, NJ. Given
the location of the scooter in proximity to the surrounding area near 70th Street and
Bergenwood Avenue, perimeter security was quickly established, during which
officers discovered a backpack and shoes on a nearby rooftop. Then, a vacant property
near the belongings found was observed to have a broken window, leading our officers
to believe the suspect had entered that property. With the assistance of K9 officers
from the Hudson County Sheriff’s Office, our officers and detectives began
methodically clearing the vacant property, where they located and arrested 29-year-old Felix R. Astacio-Leon of Jersey City, NJ, who was confirmed to be the driver of the
stolen scooter. A subsequent search incident to his arrest led to the recovery of several
capsules containing a white powdery substance, believed to be cocaine, psilocybin
(mushrooms), as well as burglary tools. Mr. Astacio-Leon was then transported to the
Guttenberg Police Department for his arrest processing, where he was charged with
receiving a stolen motor vehicle [2C:20-10.2A], possession of a controlled dangerous
