PERTH AMBOY — Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew Carey sent a letter to Perth Amboy school officials admonishing them for failing to report criminal activity by students to local police.

The failure to report the crimes, including possession of firearms (BB guns), an assault with a knife, and a sexting incident, could open up school officials to criminal and civil liability and put students and staff in danger, Carey said in the letter.

The letter states, “there have been multiple instances of serious criminal activity within the Perth Amboy school district which have not been properly reported to the police by school officials.”
