YOU READ IT HERE FIRST: It didn’t take New Milford police detectives long to track down and charge a borough man who they said stolen several packs of cigarettes — yet left most of them behind — during a pair of overnight burglaries at a local Krauszers.
Ryan Wiechnicki, 21, was charged with burglary, theft and criminal mischief following the River Road break-in through a front door window just before 2 a.m. yesterday, Detective Kevin Van Saders said.
Detectives who reviewed the store’s video surveillance also tied Wiechnicki to a previous attempted burglary at the same Krausers less than 24 hours earlier.
Wiechnicki was released on a court summons.
The Bergen County Sheriff’s Bureau of Criminal Identification collected evidence.
