Enzo Russo, 56, is also being eyed in similar thefts in Bergen and Passaic, they said.
The snow plow in question in New Milford was taken from the local Board of Education while it was parked on school property, Police Capt. Kevin Van Saders said.
Police recovered the snow plow and arrested Russon on Friday, May 12, Van Saders said.
Russo remained held on Saturday in the Bergen County Jail, charged with theft, criminal trespass, criminal mischief and possession of burglary tools.
