Newark has been in the midst of a crime spree. Robberies and muggings are becoming a common thing on the streets. The Star Ledger; Newarks’ Local Newspaper has been reporting 6 or 7 felonious crimes a day, from armed robbery to home invasion to murder. The police have thus far been incapable to stop or even slow the attacks. One local headline suggested there has been a hex put on the city.

Police have no serious leads as to who the killer may be. They believe it is someone involved with law enforcement, directly or just employed by a law enforcement agency. The killer is seems to be extremely meticulous. No fingerprints or DNA have been found at the crime scenes.
The killer is being Dubbed Newarks Night Watchman by local tabloids.

While the police scramble to find the killer and bring him to justice the citizens of Newark have a different opinion on the Killer.

“This guy is taking care of the people the police cant get.” Said one man

“I think they should give the guy a badge and a gun and just make it all legal” Said another man.
