SUMMIT, NJ — The Summit police released details last week of numerous car thefts and burglaries in August, including a case in which someone stole $6,822 in rims and tires from a car.

It had been taken since the previous day, the victim said. On Aug. 6, a man said the rims and tires were stolen from his 2021 Infiniti Q50 parked overnight at a Morris Avenue business.
