LAKEWOOD – David Gluck & Abraham Haberfeld were each charged for maintaining a nuisance by Lakewood Police.

Lakewood Police were dispatched at 8:30AM to the Bais Hora’ah located at 401 Madison Ave in Lakewood, NJ.

In a press released issued on March 30, “After several unsuccessful attempts by the Officers to clear the building, the crowd was eventually dispersed. The building’s owner, David Gluck and the building’s manager Abraham Haberfeld were each charged with maintaining a nuisance.” – Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office.

In 2016, David Gluck was under public scrutiny for the same 401 Madison Ave property, APP reports. The building management was reported to have hosted events that exceeded the parking lot’s capacity, says Harold Hershokwitz;

“Public parking is at a premium downtown, he says, and the heavily trafficked building is unfairly exacerbating the shortage of available spaces.”

In addition, videos have surfaced online showing large gatherings in Lakewood, NJ occurring after Governor Murphy’s executive order 107, banning all gatherings across the state.

In a video streamed LIVE on Facebook by Belkis on March 24 Facebook, she captures a large gathering of folks with an assortment of SUVs and minivans illegally parked on the roadway entrance. Belkis tells #EyesOnNJ News: “I hope that everyone please follow the rules any stay safe. We are losing a lot of love ones.”

In a separate video uploaded on March 27 by Amy Tauber, a video shows a large line of vehicles on Swarthmore Ave in the south-east region of the Lakewood industrial district. The videographer described it as “business as usual in Lakewood.”

#EyesOnNJ News was in brief contact with the videographer Amy. When we attempted to request additional information, we lost communication. We reported the line of cars entering the Yaeger Lumber Yard at 1835 Swarthmore Ave, Lakewood. This later proved to be incorrect. The line of cars was destined for the Yeshiva Ohr Shraga Lakewood Elementary school located at 1815 Swarthmore Ave, Lakewood.

While filming this report, the #EyesOnNJ News team was met with strange reaction from the locals. While wrapping up the final report, the driver of a late 2000s White Impala spotted us, made an illegal u turn and pulled along side us coming to a complete stop in an active traffic lane. The driver activated his windshield wipers for an unknown reason and later drove up onto the curb.

When John Edmunds of #EyesOnNJ News attempted to speak with the gentleman, he quickly departed.
