THE RECORD
MAHWAH — Police have arrested one of two men allegedly involved in the theft of a bag of about $150,000 in cash that had been accidentally left on a curb this week and are looking for the other suspect, saying in a news release on Thursday that the pair already spent some of the money, using cash to purchase an SUV.
Alton Harvey
Alton Harvey, 42, of Hillside was arrested Wednesday afternoon as police conducted surveillance in Irvington of the white van allegedly used by the suspects on the day of the theft and a Chevrolet Tahoe that had been purchased with money from the bag, Police Chief James Batelli said Thursday. Police are also looking for Jamar A. Bludson, 35, of Newark, he said.
Video surveillance cameras recorded the passenger of a white van removing the bag from the lawn, Mahwah Police Chief James Batelli said.
Police said that Harvey drove the van and that Bludson, the passenger, was the person seen on video surveillance picking up the satchel of money from the curb. The bag had been left there accidentally by two workers for an ATM company located on Industrial Avenue. Police have not identified the company for security reasons and company officials have not responded to messages seeking comment.

no u are a cop, take a walk , they found it. they did not steel it.
You people cannot be serious. If they didn’t return it to police when they “found” it then they stole it. It didn’t belong to them and they took it and kept it. That’s stealing. Didn’t your mommy teach you anything?
they did not steel it. they found it on the curb. yes they should of gave it back. but it was on the curb line.just maybe they did not know what happen’ed and they did not see the new’s about this. and to 9,18 you don’t get it, I would of called the press and gave it to them , not the police. and they would of done the story right. they found the bag on the road. who the hell did they steel it from, well huh . STOLE IT FROM WHO. and yes my mommy did. you sound like a real dummy.it’s not steeling. so you should do your job when on the beet and stop all the night time people taking garbage from the curb line form all towns ,RIGHT so what u are saying is it’s steeling.RIGHT. well. now what.
I wish I found that bag of money just laying on the ( curb ) like garbage !!!, some say I would be steeling it, would it. I found it. so when people find a dime on the sidewalk are they steeling it, your is it because it,s a large sum of money, they still found it , I find change and small amount every day just blowing around at the train & bus depot , am i steeling from some one. I don’t think so.
