Following a nearly two-month-long investigation, Newark Police have charged two men on multiple offenses, according to Lt Andrew Rubin.
Officials said the pair were involved in multiple burglaries, thefts of property, thefts of motor vehicles, and subsequent unlawful use of payment cards.
Rubin said the two men would sell stolen property to a retailer and stolen credit cards were used to buy merchandise.
