A Hoboken burglar who struck at least five times since November is in jail after he was arrested in a shoplifting incident Sunday, police say.
Ronald Crawford, 62, was trying to flee from a drug store on Washington Street at 8:37 a.m. Sunday with several concealed items that he did not pay for, Hoboken Lt. Danilo Cabrera said. Crawford was stopped inside the store until Police Officers Anthony Olivera and Anthony Hochstadter responded to arrest him on shoplifting and hindering charges.
At the time of his arrest, Crawford was wanted by Hoboken police in connection with multiple burglaries and theft after an investigation by Detectives Bret Globke, Luis Rodriguez, Connor Milne and Fabien Quinones.
