Voorhees Police Chief Louis Bordi has reported that two men have been charged for allegedly assaulting several people at a Halloween party in Voorhees.
A male, 22, of Delran, and another male, 22, of Delran, each face two counts of second-degree aggravated assault, two counts of third-degree aggravated assault and one count of second-degree conspiracy to commit aggravated assault.
The incident occurred late on the night of Oct. 17 at a party attended by numerous guests in their late teens and early 20s at a residence on the unit block of Horseshore Drive in Voorhees. The investigation revealed the two males of Delran were among a group of men in their 20s who entered the residence around 10:30 p.m. and were asked to leave.
Approximately an hour to an hour and a half later, the group of men left the party, but the two males of Delran stayed behind and allegedly began punching partygoers without provocation.
The victims, a 17-year-old male from Gibbsboro, a 19-year-old Berlin man, a 20-year-old Voorhees man and a 20-year-old Voorhees woman, were taken to an area hospital for treatment.
Detectives from the Voorhees Police Department and the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crimes Unit were able to identity the Delran men as the alleged attackers based on witness accounts and social media posts.
One male was taken into custody today in Delanco by Detective Sergeant Chuck Fowler and other members of the Voorhees Police Criminal Investigations Bureau., and the other male surrendered Nov. 6 to authorities at Voorhees Police headquarters.
Bail was set at $100,000 cash for each suspect.
All persons charged with criminal offenses are presumed innocent unless and until convicted in a court of law.
