Wayne Police Seek Public's Help Finding Hotel TV Bandit

WAYNE, N.J.– A thief was caught on camera stealing a pair of LED televisions from the Hilton Garden Inn in Wayne, authorities said Thursday.

Surveillance images from the hotel show the thief enter through an unlocked door used for housekeeping personnel and exit 10 to 15 minutes later carrying the 43-inch TVs wrapped in a sheet, Capt. Laurence Martin said. 

The bandit loaded the goods – valued at $1,000 – into a dark-colored Nissan Maxima with a partial New Jersey license plate of "R97," Martin said. 

Anyone with information that could help the investigation is asked to contact Detective Jorge Barreto at (973) 633-3532.
