On Friday afternoon, police released images on social media of the men inside the firehouse and asked for the public's help identifying them. "Tips from all over the state" soon helped police to "quickly identify" the men.
Before being identified, two of them went back to the fire department in an attempt to return the items and were later arrested, police said. The other two suspects eventually turned themselves in late Friday, police said Saturday morning.
Anthony Gallo, 21 of Bridgewater, was charged with third degree theft and fourth degree trespassing; and Jonathan Kaye, 21, of Bridgewater, Alexander Navarro- Gamboa, 21, of Bound Brook, and Nicholas Attanasio, 21, of Seaside Heights, were all charged with trespassing.
They were released pending a court appearance.
