Warrant Squad Detectives Scott Stracco and Louis Pagan seized 29-year-old Jean C. Santana on Auburn Street early Tuesday for violating probation by being caught with a weapon, shoplifting and receiving stolen property, Passaic County Sheriff Richard H. Berdnik said.

During the arrest, they found him with the cards, which also included a state Department of Human Services “families first” debit card and several gift cards in other people’s names, the sheriff said.

He also was carrying a driver’s license in another city resident’s name and was wanted on a shoplifting warrant, Berdnik said.

Detectives charged Santana with several counts of credit card theft and carrying a false government document and sent him to the Passaic County Jail to await a court hearing.
