A car crash in Hackensack and an alert officer in Cedar Grove produced key evidence in the takedown of a mixed-gender crew believed responsible for 84 home burglaries in eight New Jersey counties and Rockland, authorities said.
Investigators armed with a search warrant found proceeds from one of the burglaries in a Mercedes-Benz GL 450 that Keith Perry, 38, of Teaneck crashed in March, state Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal said.
Perry was identified as a burglar who threatened an Englewood homeowner by making a motion with his hand inside his sweatshirt as though he had a gun and saying, “I’ll shoot you,” last December.

State police charged Ian Schweizer, 38, with simple assault after the alleged April 21 incident, but at a virtual court hearing on Tuesday, a prosecutor said Schweizer would also face four additional counts of sexual and aggravated assault. A hearing to determine whether he will stay in jail while the case is heard, originally scheduled for Thursday, was postponed until next week.
The incident comes a month after the state Attorney General s Office issued a report concluding there was a breakdown in communication between state police and the Sussex prosecutors over the 2017 allegations, but no signs of improper or corrupt influence. Some troopers from the Sussex barracks had claimed Schweizer s family connections had played a role in the dismissal of the charges.
