Four men and eight youths from Englewood were arrested Monday night as they headed into Bergenfield to retaliate against borough youths for a fight last week, police said.
Working on an anonymous tip, police were waiting for the suspects when they arrived on Howard Drive about 9:45 p.m., said Bergenfield Police Capt. George Grube.
The suspects, traveling in two cars when Bergenfield police Officers Mark Richards and Russell Stuebe stopped them, had a loaded .22-caliber rifle, three knives, and four baseball bats, Grube said.
“They were looking for some of the guys who were involved in an incident last Monday,” he said. “Fortunately, we got to them before somebody really did get hurt.”
A Bergenfield youth apparently punched a youth from Englewood last week, Grube said. He did not know what sparked the fight.
The suspects were charged with illegal possession of weapons, and Grube said police were considering other charges.
Seven youths were released to their parents, and one was being held in detention.
Louis Aguilar, 20, of 208 Waldo Place, was released on $5,000 bail.
Darrius Griffin, 21, and Edward Russell, 20, both of 245 Central Ave., and Maximo Colon, 18, of 32 Brookway Ave., were being held in the Bergen County Jail on $5,000 bail each.
