ARREST MADE AFTER LAST WEEK'S THREE VERONA RESIDENTIAL BURGLARIES

Yesterday, Verona Detective Lieutenant Timothy Banta and Verona Detective Joel Martin arrested Maria Circelli, 45, of Newark in connection with 3 daytime residential burglaries that occurred last week in Verona. Also assisting in the investigation were Verona Detective TJ Conroy and Verona Officer Edward Ruff.

BURGLARY INVESTIGATION
Circelli is believed to have walked around the Verona neighborhoods and knock on doors of homes that had no cars in the driveway. 

Verona Police report that last week on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Circelli entered three homes during the day:
  • One, through an unlocked first floor window
  • Two others, through unlocked doors

THEFT ALLEGATIONS
Verona Police assert that once inside the homes, Circelli searched for jewelry and "interactive internet speakers" which she then stole.

At this time the police continue to locate and retrieve the stolen property.

CIRCELLI'S CHARGES
  • Burglary, 3 counts
  • Theft, 3 counts
  • Narcotics possession offenses
Circelli is currently housed at the ​Essex County Correctional Facility. 

PAST THEFT CHARGES
  • May, 2017
    Circelli was arrested after Essex Avenue, Bloomfield home burglaries:
    • Homeowner reportedly discovered Circelli inside his home, and when leaving she stated she thought it was a friend's home

  • Oct. 2012
    Springfield Police reportedly caught Circelli with stolen jewlery and narcotics after a daytime burglary on Colfax Road.
    • A neighbor stated she saw Circelli ring a neighbor's doorbell and walk around to the backyard. When confronted, Circelli stated to the neighbor she was lost.

Verona Chief Christopher Kiernan: 

"This arrest brings closure to a few anxious days in Verona, as the burglaries occurred consecutively last Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. The case was resolved due to the persistent work of Detective Lieutenant Banta, Detectives Martin and TJ Conroy as well as Officer Edward Ruff. Their relentless diligence to the people of Verona is commendable. They are still working very hard at trying to retrieve some of the stolen property. Having your home burglarized is one of the most invasive property crimes, and we are empathetic towards the victims' pain.

This entire investigation also highlights the excellent partnership we have with our residents who called with useful observations and provided invaluable doorbell camera footage. The suspect's strategy is not unique, we see it often. Please continue to call in suspicious activity and remain vigilant in securing your homes in an effort to harden your target."

After months of service with the department, Fairfield Special Police Officer Paul Cory Perrette was officially sworn into duty yesterday by Mayor James Gasparini.

Fairfield Police Chief Anthony G. Manna:

“On behalf of the entire police department, I extend to Cory our congratulations on the accomplishment of graduating the police academy, especially under the conditions that
he was forced to endure with the Coronavirus. We are also extremely happy that he was able to receive the public recognition for his family, friends and co-workers to enjoy. He is extremely intelligent, polite and compassionate and will fit in perfectly with the Fairfield Police Department. We are happy to officially have him on board."​

In case you missed this:

Last Tuesday morning, Aug. 11 at 9am, a Paterson resident called Police after she saw what appeared to her to be an Ostrich running through her Hillcrest neighborhood. Animal Control responded and were finally able to get the 4-foot tall Emu into a large crate in Totowa.

Chief Animal Control Officer John DeCando stated the Emu appeared healthy, “but I can tell you it needs a bath."

The Emu was transported to Franklin Lakes Animal Hospital which had already arranged for a caretaker, following the vet examination.
​
DeCando reported that while he had never before seen an Emu, he had at one time seen an Elephant running down the street.

_____________________________
from Essex Fells Police Chief Darren Volker
On Sunday August 9, 2020 at approximately 1256 hours, Officer Jonathan Berger stopped a 2007 silver Toyota Rav 4 on Roseland Avenue for several motor vehicle violations. Further investigation led to the driver being asked to step out of his vehicle to perform several field sobriety tests. The driver, a 46 year old man from West Orange, was subsequently placed under arrest for Driving While Intoxicated. In addition, a search of his vehicle revealed several “crack pipes” containing narcotic residue.
Once in custody, this individual began to act erratically and was extremely uncooperative. He told the officers that he wanted to kill himself. As a result, the West Essex First Aid Squad was summoned to the scene, and the driver was transported to Mountainside Hospital for a psychological evaluation. At the hospital, the driver continued to act violently toward the hospital staff, and he needed to be sedated to keep from harming himself.
The driver was later released on his own recognizance from the hospital and charged with multiple motor vehicle violations including Driving While Intoxicated, Driving While Suspended, and Reckless Driving. He was also charged with Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
