Police arrested a 27-year-old Teaneck, N.J. man by warrant in connection with a home burglary in March that saw nearly $5,000 in electronics and jewelry stolen from a North Wilton Road home.
The arrested man was charged with third-degree burglary, third-degree larceny, third-degree criminal trespass and criminal mischief.
