Silver discovery is golden
A Ridgewood woman whose home was burglarized will get to see the return of her silverware, police said, due to what transpired after officers pulled over a green Nissan Maxima for a reported cracked windshield on Friday, July 11 at 12:30 p.m.
The officers, Keith Spillane and Anthony Mule’, were assigned to a traffic detail on Interstate 287 North when they stopped the Nissan on Ringwood Avenue in Haskell and also stopped the car’s two occupants as they allegedly attempted to walk away.
Police Chief Tom Norton reports that a records check revealed arrest warrants for both the driver, Brian Trillo, 30, of Whippany, and the passenger, Emerald Griffin, 20, of Whippany.
As police searched the backpack that Trillo was carrying, they found that silverware, Norton said, which Trillo reportedly said belonged to his mother and they were going to sell.
During questioning at headquarters, Trillo confessed that the silverware in the backpack had been stolen from a home in Ridgewood while he was helping a woman clean out her home after he answered an Internet help-wanted ad, according to the chief.
Ridgewood police were advised of the findings and the Ridgewood woman was contacted to identify the silverware, said Norton.
