PARSIPPANY — On January 23, 2017 at 9:26 p.m. Patrol Officer C. DeLoatch responded to the Parsippany Police Department’s lobby to speak with the victim of a vehicle burglary.
While speaking to the victim, it was determined that between 5:45 p.m. and 7:20 p.m. an unknown suspect gained access to her vehicle parked at LA Fitness, 1159 Route 46, and stole her purse and gym bag.
She did not realize at the time her purse was stolen and went to her residence. Once at her residence she received multiple transaction alerts from different credit card companies totaling over $4000.00 at which time she responded to Police Headquarters to report the incident.
After a brief investigation Detective M. McAuliffe was able to identify the suspect as Marshall Moreira, 23, Hillside.
A Complaint-Warrant for Third Degree Burglary and a Complaint-Summons for Third Degree Credit Card Theft were issued for his arrest on Thursday, June 22.
He was subsequently arrested on Monday, June 26 by Hillside Police Department and transported to the Parsippany Police Headquarters for processing.
Once processed he was transported to the Morris County Correctional Facility pending his court date.
Editors Note: A criminal complaint is merely an accusation. Despite this accusation, the defendant is presumed innocent until he or she is proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
