Daily News | 82-year-old Jersey Shore man accused of shooting neighbor’s fence and hoarding weapons and explosive devices
What started as shots fired at a neighbor’s fence has led to the arrest of an 82-year-old Margate man on a variety of weapons charges, including possession of homemade explosive devices, according to police.
Beck came to the attention of authorities on May 16 when a resident of 36th Avenue contacted Longport police after discovering bullet holes in their fence. The caller told police surveillance footage showed it was Beck who had fired those shots. A subsequent search of his home uncovered the collection of firearms, ammunition and homemade explosives. The latter prompted involvement of the Atlantic City and Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office Bomb Squad units, which seized the devices and declared the area safe, police said. Beck was charged with possession of destructive devices.
