THE RECORD
Two men have been arrested and charged with burglarizing a dozen motor vehicles last in Ringwood and Wyckoff, taking holiday gifts, cameras, laptops and checkbooks, police said in a news release.
One suspect, Nathan Pendrak, 33, of Wayne, also is charged with stealing $1,700 worth of items from three unlocked cars in Wyckoff by borough police.
Pendrak, who also goes by the name Nathan Jodice, and Joseph Caffiero of Edison, 29, were each charged with 12 counts of burglary and theft, as well as fraudulent use of credit cards and criminal mischief in both towns. Pendrak was also charged with possession of crack cocaine, heroin and drug paraphernalia.
A search of their vehicles and homes “revealed evidence of the Ringwood burglaries as well as burglaries throughout North Jersey and into New York State,” the release says.
They are in Passaic County Jail. Bail has been set at $25,000.
