MANCHESTER – A Whiting man has been arrested for theft and burglary after stealing $3,000 worth of tools from a resident’s garage.
On June 28, Patrolman Robert Maccaquano of the Manchester Township Police Department’s Patrol Bureau went to a home on Beckerville Road regarding a reported burglary and theft. The resident told police that someone had entered his garage and car and stolen about $3,000 worth of tools.
After initial investigation, witnesses told Maccaquano that they heard what sounded like a small motorized bicycle during the time of the burglary. Maccaquano suspected Ronald Marcinczyk, 42, of Whiting, to be the possible thief as a past burglary also involved a small motorized bicycle.
Police arrived at Marcinczyk’s home on Ironside Drive and were able to recover the stolen items.
As a result, Marcinczyk was arrested and charged with two counts of burglary and one count of theft. After processing, Marcinczyk was transported to the Ocean County Jail pending a detention hearing.
