150 Box Turtles Dumped in Cranford | Newark News

Over 150 box turtles dumped in a Cranford river—some native, others invasive Three-toed types—are being urgently sought by locals and firefighters. Nearly 100 have been rescued so far, but more are out there. Wildlife experts insist every turtle needs vet and biologist checks before release. If you spot one, don’t keep it—place it in a cardboard box with paper towels, keep it cool and dark, and drop it off at the Cranford Fire Department between 9 AM and 7 PM. This is an active investigation; holding turtles is illegal in New Jersey. Contact Cranford Health Department or Animal Control Solutions for questions.
