Onlookers pull Sicklerville man from burning car

A 20-year-old Camden County man remained in critical condition Saturday after crashing his car in Winslow Township and being saved by onlookers who pulled him out of his burning car, police said.

About 6:45 p.m. Friday, Tyrone Gollopp Jr., of Sicklerville, was driving on Erial Road approaching Eden Hollow Lane when he lost control of his car.

The car slammed into a large pine tree in the Camden County Park Recreational Area, the Winslow Township Police Department said.

The car caught on fire with the driver trapped inside. Onlookers rushed to Gollopp's aid and pulled him out, police said.

Gollopp, who was alone in the car, was taken by helicopter to Cooper University Hospital in Camden. - Julie Shaw

Prison terms for three

in luxury auto-theft ring

Three men have received prison terms for their roles in an international auto-theft and carjacking ring that targeted luxury vehicles from New Jersey and New York and shipped them to West Africa.

New Jersey authorities say Kurtis Bossie received an 18-year sentence, while Jim Bryant Jr. got a 10-year sentence. The two Newark men pleaded guilty last month to conspiracy and carjacking charges. Daniel Hunt, of East Orange, received a five-year sentence. He pleaded guilty in December to conspiracy to commit fencing.

The charges stemmed from "Operation Jacked," a 10-month state investigation that recovered 160 stolen cars worth more than $8 million. The ring targeted high-end luxury vehicles including Mercedes-Benzes, Porsches, Jaguars, and Aston Martins.

Man arrested in Phila. killing;

second male sought

Police have arrested one man and are searching for a second in connection with the Friday evening execution-style killing of a 22-year-old man near Somerset and A Streets in North Philadelphia.

Two men on an orange off-road motorcycle targeted the victim, who was standing on a sidewalk, police said. A gunman shot the victim and then stood over the fallen man and fired more shots, police said. The victim was pronounced dead at 5:44 p.m. at Temple University Hospital. Police have not released his name.

Highway Patrol officers observed the motorcycle, then occupied by only one male, fleeing the area and gave chase. The motorcycle collided with an SUV at Lawrence and Pike Streets, and police apprehended a 21-year-old man, who was taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center for treatment.

Police said the investigation was continuing. - Andrew Maykuth
