A 27-year-old Union City man, the second suspect in Monday’s burglary of a Bergen Boulevard home, turned himself in to borough police Tuesday and was charged with burglary and theft, police said.
Thomas Cook of 518 12th St. was being held in the Bergen County Jail on Wednesday in lieu of $25,000 bail.
Palisades Park Police Capt. Remo Framarin said the Bergen County Sheriff’s Department’s Bureau of Criminal Investigations and the Bergen County Burglary Squad, using fingerprint information and composites, identified Cook as a suspect in the burglary. Framarin said several law enforcement agencies are investigating the two men and others in connection with other burglaries in the county.
Police, responding Tuesday to a call about a prowler near a home that had been burglarized Monday, arrested Luis Ayala, 35, of Union City, as he hid in a wooded area east of Bergen Boulevard.
Ayala, also known as Raymond, was charged with burglary, possession of burglary tools, and possession of stolen credit cards. Fort Lee Police Chief John Orso said he was preparing charges against Ayala for six burglaries at the Horizon Apartments in Fort Lee during the past three weeks. The credit cards belonged to someone from Fort Lee, Palisades Park police said.
Palisades Park Municipal Court Judge Joseph Dimiglio set Ayala’s bail at $50,000. Ayala was being held in a secured unit at Bergen Pines County Hospital for undisclosed reasons.
