Kevin R. Brady, 49, of Point Pleasant Beach had access to storage areas in the Iselin building, state Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal said.
Brady swiped seven to eight cases of N95 coronavirus respirator masks, each case containing 200 masks, between March 27 and April 1, Grewal said.
He was tripped up, however, during an ongoing investigation by the New Jersey State Police, Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office, Woodbridge and Point Pleasant police based on a referral from the National Hoarding & Price-Gouging Task Force headed by New Jersey U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito, the attorney general said.
Brady is charged with theft and conspiracy, he said.
The Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office will be releasing more information about the arrest, Grewal said.
