Two registered sex offenders, a convicted prostitute and a woman with a history of drug arrests in two states were caught by South Hackensack police in a car stolen from a dead man, authorities said.
Officer Joseph Applegate spotted the 2018 Volkswagen sedan moving erratically on westbound Route 46 near the Stagecoach Motel shortly after midnight Thursday, Detective Sgt. James Donatello said.
A computer check showed the vehicle belonged to a 67-year-old Bogota man who d recently died.
Applegate summoned backup units while stopping the vehicle on Huyler Street, Donatello said.
