NORTH BERGEN — According to North Bergen police, three businesses have been burglarized overnight this month.
On Aug. 2, the owner of a North Bergen clothing store discovered that the shop had been broken into overnight. According to police, the owner said two computers valued at $1,500 each and two Sony digital cameras worth $500 each had been stolen.
The office had “everything thrown all over the place,” said a police spokesman. A wall was damaged, possibly by several file cabinets that had toppled over.
Police were able to lift six latent prints. They were submitted to FBI’s Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS).
In addition, a dry cleaning business located on Kennedy Boulevard was broken into some time overnight. The owner arrived on Aug. 1 and saw that the front entrance door had been broken into. Police believe that the front door’s padlock had been cut, allowing the intruders to roll the security gate up. The alarm system and phone cables had also been cut. $200 had been removed from the cash register. Police were able to lift two latent prints, which they submitted to IAFIS.
And a beverage company located on Dell Avenue was burglarized sometime overnight on July 31.
Police said that the owner found his three-room office ransacked that morning, and noticed that two GPS devices and a fax machine, worth $600 total, had been taken.
