The Dennis Township official Facebook page first reported Tuesday morning that a New Jersey State Police investigation was unfolding in Seaville area of the town.
The advisory urged residents to "be vigilant and keep yourself and property secured." The disturbance also caused the local school district to halt bus services.

"There was an isolated incident this morning, and there are no active threats in any area of Dennis Township," officials said.
Officials said there is still an ongoing investigation, but they're still awaiting information from New Jersey State Police.
