Glen Rock NJ, Following a two-week Glen Rock Police investigation, D/Sgt James Calaski arrested a 55-year-old Ridgewood man on shoplifting charges stemming from incidents that occurred at Bottle King Liquors on Prospect Street. The investigation was begun on May 12 when the management of Bottle King reported that $2,000 worth of wine had been stolen from the store on two separate dates in March and April. Through the review of receipts and video surveillance footage, detectives were able to identify the actor. On each occasion, the actor had taken expensive bottles of wine and placed them in cases marked at a lower price. The man would then check out paying the lower price, in each case defrauding Bottle King of $1,000 for two separate purchases.
Since the time of the arrest, full restitution has been made to Bottle King.
