Officer Joseph Cullen spotted the trio on Forsythia Lane around 3:30 a.m. yesterday after a caller said they were “going in and out of residential driveways and attempting to enter vehicles” on Millar Court, Lt. John Scully said.
Cullen found them carrying proceeds from the car break-ins — including cash and jewelry — and all three were arrested, said Scully, the department’s operations commander.
Charged with burglary were 21-year-one Oluwatobi Bamisile and Livingston Diah and Dakota Johnson, both 22 (MUGSHOTS: Courtesy Paramus PD).
Diah also was charged with theft. He was being held on $7,500 bail in the Bergen County Jail.
Johnson and Bamisile, meanwhile, were released pending Municipal Court hearings.
Similar arrests have been made throughout Bergen in recent weeks, thanks to residents who authorities said are paying attention to their surroundings and not hesitating to call police when they see something they consider suspicious.
