MORRISTOWN, NJ.- On Thursday, December 23, 2021 Morris County Prosecutor Robert J. Carroll, Chief of Detectives Christoph Kimker, Morris County Sheriff James Gannon, and Harding Township Police Chief Erik Heller announced that Malik Carter, 21, of Newark, New Jersey has been Sentenced to Three Years in New Jersey State Prison. The Sentence is the result of the diligent efforts of The Morris County Auto Theft Task Force.
The Sentenced was handed down by The Honorable Ralph Amirata, Judge of The Superior Court on Friday, December 17, 2021 in Morris County State Court.
Mr. Carter's conviction and sentence stems from an incident that occurred on December 15, 2020, when a resident of Harding Township, New Jersey reported their 2018 Black Porsche Macan Turbo had been stolen from their residence overnight.
As a result of an investigation by The Harding Township Police Department, along with the Morris County Auto Theft Task Force, Mr. Carter was identified through digital forensics as having committed the theft in Harding Township and similar crimes in jurisdictions in surrounding counties. Further, on December 16, 2020, Carter was also identified and apprehended by The Essex County Sheriff’s Office, upon Mr. Carter exiting the stolen 2018 Black Porsche Macan Turbo and fleeing from police.
On November 16, 2021, The Honorable Ralph Amirata, J.S.C., accepted Mr. Carter’s Pleas of Guilty to Third Degree Theft by Unlawful Taking and Fourth Degree Resisting Arrest. The State recommended Carter be sentenced to Three Years in New Jersey State Prison on the Theft charges, and a concurrent sentence of up to Eighteen Months in New Jersey State Prison on the Resisting Arrest charge. On Wednesday, December 22, 2021, Mr. Carter was sentenced in accordance with the Plea Agreement and the State’s recommendations.
This Arrest was the result of Police collaboration between Multiple Agencies and Counties, resulting in a prosecution led by the Morris County Auto Theft Task Force.
Morris County Prosecutor Carroll stated “Today’s sentence shows the importance of law enforcement teamwork and coordination in investigating motor vehicle thefts which have been plaguing our region. Morris County Law Enforcement will aggressively investigate car thefts and our prosecution team will ensure that those responsible for these thefts receive appropriate sentences to deter these thefts and keep our community safe.”
