160 Turtles Recovered After Illegal Dump | Newark News

Over 160 turtles dumped in Cranford—125 Eastern box turtles and 37 rare three-toed box turtles (not native to NJ)—are now being treated at the Mercer County Wildlife Center. Authorities are urging locals to only help turtles within a half-mile of the dump site and not collect wild turtles elsewhere. Native turtles will be released locally once healthy; non-native ones will return to their original habitat. Police are investigating who dumped them, calling it a serious wildlife crime.
