Nick Mangold calls 911 to help pancake block some robbers

New York Jets center Nick Mangold helped end a New Jersey crime spree last week with a timely 911 call.

Mangold called 911 at 5:30 a.m. last Sunday after hearing his car alarm and noticing his garage door open, according to police. A short time later, police stopped a vehicle in the area and took five suspects into custody.

It appears Mangold’s quick thinking could have helped solve a rash of burglaries in the area of Chatham, New Jersey, a few miles from the Jets’ practice facility. Recently there has been 48 burglaries of unlocked cars.

Five teens were arrested and have been charged with burglary and theft.
