Richard Maldonado was charged with burglary, theft, criminal mischief, defiant trespassing and possession of drug paraphernalia, Hoboken Police Det. Lt. Danilo Cabrera said.
The first call came in around 2:10 p.m. June 11 at a business near 2nd and Monroe Street, police said. Business owners told police that a man came in around 1:20 a.m., and left and entered more than once, taking items from the business, authorities said.
A locking mechanism on one of the windows was reportedly damaged in the process.
Then, on June 13, detectives identified Maldonado as a suspect -- and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Maldonado was found sleeping in a stairwell of 320 Marshall Dr., and arrested, authorities said.
He was transported to the Hudson County Correctional Facility.
