According to authorities, Secaucus Police are still in search for a man who they allege committed a burglary by breaking into a Blimpie store on Paterson Plank Road between 3:30 and 4:30 am around a week ago. Police Captain Dennis Miller stated that the man (who is walking with a noticeable limp) forced his way into the fast food restaurant. Police did not give any further information about what he stole since this is an ongoing investigation. However, the suspect fled the scene in either a 2003 or 2007 dark colored 2-door Honda Accord and headed east on Paterson Plank Road. Click here to read more at www.northjersey.com.
In New Jersey, Burglary is typically a crime of the third degree, however, in some cases, it may be considered second degree if the actor caused injury to another person, or if they used a weapon in the process. A crime of the second degree falls under the No Early Release Act ( NERA ), meaning that 85% of the sentence imposed must be served before becoming eligible for parole.
