N.J. airport security breach

- Thomas Tracy

Port Authority police have arrested a woman who managed to blow through security at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey and drive across two active runways Tuesday.

The unhinged 32-yearold drove her black Honda Civic past a guard post and ended up driving into the aeronautic­al area — which is restricted.

She was tailgating an authorized vehicle through the checkpoint and drove through before the guard could stop her, officials said.

During her joyride , she drove across the airfield, zipping across two active runways before coming to a stop. There were no planes on the runway when she crossed the airstrip.

The unidentifi­ed woman abandoned her vehicle near the airport’s Aviation Hall of Fame and Museum and ran into the woods, only to be apprehende­d in nearby Moonachie, N.J.
