NEWARK, NJ – On Sunday, a man entered a Newark business by smashing a glass window to gain entry.

Newark Public Safety Director Brian A. O’Hara requests the public’s help with identifying the below-pictured suspect, who was captured on surveillance video breaking the front glass of a business and taking money from the cash register on April 10, 2022.

“Police responded to a call about a burglary that occurred around 3:08 a.m. at a store that sells religious goods on Prospect Street. When the officers arrived, they saw the glass to the front door shattered and there was a rock on the floor,” O’Hara said.


Director O’Hara urges anyone with information about the suspect to call the Police Division’s 24-hour Crime Stopper tip line at 1-877-NWK-TIPS (1-877-695-8477).
