Hackensack NJ, Acting Bergen County Prosecutor Dennis Calo announced today the arrest of STEVEN SAULTER (DOB: 12/14/1967; single; employed as a truck driver) of 325 Kaplan Avenue, Hackensack, NJ on a charge of Burglary. The arrest is the result of an investigation conducted by the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office under the direction of Chief Robert Anzilotti.
In August 2018, the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Special Investigations Squad initiated an investigation into a series of residential burglaries in and around Bergen County that appeared to share the same modus operandi.
As a result of evidence obtained by law enforcement concerning a September 2018 burglary in the Village of Carlstadt, detectives from the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Special Investigations Squad executed a search warrant at Steven SAULTER’S residence in Hackensack and an additional location in Teaneck on January 17, 2019. The same day, SAULTER was arrested and charged with one count of Burglary, in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:18-2, a 3rd degree crime. SAULTER was remanded to the Bergen County Jail pending a detention hearing scheduled for Friday, January 25, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. This investigation remains ongoing.
Acting Prosecutor Calo states that the charge is merely accusation and that the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. He also would like to thank the Bergen County Sheriff’s Office, and the Saddle River, Mahwah, Carlstadt, Glen Rock, Tenafly, Elmwood Park, and Hackensack Police Departments for their assistance with this investigation.
