EVESHAM TOWNSHIP, N.J. – A Delran man has been arrested in connection with a late-night break-in at a Marlton consignment store where high-end merchandise was stolen, police said.
Evesham Township officers responded to a glass-break alarm at Second to None Consignment on North Maple Avenue just before midnight on October 21.
Investigators say approximately $25,000 worth of designer purses, wallets, bags, and jewelry was taken.
Detectives identified a suspect and obtained a warrant after processing the scene and following up on leads developed shortly after the burglary.
Suspect identified, arrested, and linked through recovered evidence
