At 2:29 am, Officers Ivaylo Ivanov and Danish Mohammad located a vehicle that had been reported stolen from Northfield in the 600 block of Absecon Boulevard.  As the officers were waiting for the tow truck, they parked their vehicle away from the car to see if someone would return.  As they waited, two males approached the stolen car and upon seeing the officers turned and began to walk away.
