It didn’t take long for Glen Rock police detective to identify a thief who swiped a car from a resident’s driveway that contained nearly $230,000 worth of valuables, authorities said.
Despite a recent series of arrests for property crimes, New Jersey s 2017 bail reform law has kept Colin McCann, 39, of Glen Rock out of jail and on the street. These include charges that he stole two Glen Rock DPW vehicles last year.
McCann was awaiting trial for another theft arrest when a Southboro Lane resident called borough police earlier this month and reported a 2013 Honda Civic stolen overnight from their driveway.

Glen Rock police captured a car burglary crew from Newark with help from an alert resident and their colleagues from Fair Lawn and Ridgewood, authorities said.
The resident called shortly before 5 a.m. Friday after spotting the thieves on Woodvale Road, Police Chief Dean Ackermann said.
Sgt. Bryan Scott and Officers Annamarie Mattina and Nick Onove swooped in, joined by out-of-town officers, and took all five into custody, the chief said.
They found items stolen from unlocked vehicles on Woodvale Road and Fieldmere Road in the car and on the thieves, Ackermann said.
“Also recovered in the vehicle was a high-capacity handgun magazine and ammunition,” he said, adding that police thoroughly searched the car and the area of the thefts without finding a weapon.
