3:07 PM – A Glen Rock woman reported that she was the victim of theft by deception after she purchased a carpet from a retailer in December who subcontracted the installation to a third-party installer. Subsequently the retailer terminated their business relationship with the installer who had already received a deposit for the work. Investigation determined that the installer was still under contract with the retailer at the time payment was received, he had just recently received the carpet to be installed and was fully prepared to do the work or issue a refund. As there was no evidence to support that the circumstances were a criminal matter further police involvement was not appropriate. The complainant was advised that this is a civil matter which she will need to resolve with the installer on her own.

3:07 PM – A Maple Avenue resident reported that she received a shipment via UPS and found that the package appeared to have been opened and resealed. Inspection of the package determined that a bracelet valued at $61.94 was removed and only the invoice remained. The detective bureau is following up with UPS on the matter.

5:26 PM – During the course of a motor vehicle stop on Route 208 North P.O. Sarah Orsita arrested a 22-year-old Mahwah man on an active criminal warrant issued by the Fair Lawn Municipal Court. Unable to post $ 500 bail, the man was turned over to the custody of the Fair Lawn Police Department.
