Brigantine Police Make Cocaine Bust

Perhaps if you're going to be committing crimes - well, allegedly committing crimes - you shouldn't do things to call attention to yourself.

This would include things like riding around in a New Jersey registered vehicle without a front license plate. That's a no-no and you could be stopped.

This guy was stopped.
