Security Breach At Teterboro Airport: Woman Drives Across Runways, Ditches Car

TETERBORO, N.J. (CBSNewYork) -- There was a security breach at Teterboro Airport on Tuesday morning.

Police said a woman, 32, drove a black Honda Civic past a guard post on Industrial Avenue at around 9:30 a.m., and then drove across two active runways.

The woman then got out of the car and ran into a wooded area.

Port Authority Police tracked her down and arrested her at a home in Moonachie near the airport.

There were no planes on the runways at the time of the breach. The Port Authority says it's now looking into ways to improve its runway security moving forward.
