Officers Edar Merza and Jeffrey Welsh, responding to the 4:40 a.m. call, spoke with neighbors and reviewed video of the burglar “entering and rummaging through an unlocked vehicle” parked in a driveway near the corner of Haledon Court and Oxford Street, Lt. George Guzman said.

They canvassed the area and found Gregory Gizinski, 34, near West Broadway, then took him into custody, Guzman said.

Gizinski, who already had a criminal record, was charged with burglary and released pending a court appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Paterson.
