Bloomfield Business Burglarized; Police Arrest Woman And Teen

BLOOMFIELD, NJ — Bloomfield police arrested two people in connection with a burglary that took place at a local business last week, authorities said Wednesday.

According to the Bloomfield Police Department, officers responded to 150 Bloomfield Avenue (Quality Auto Center) after getting a report about a burglary on Oct. 6.

The manager told officers that the suspects – who were captured on video surveillance – entered the business the previous night through a bay door. They took $700 in cash from the register and an employee’s cell phone, authorities said.

Bloomfield detectives traced the stolen cell phone to Sussex Avenue in Newark, where they found a male and female who fit the description from the surveillance video, police said.

Officers arrested the pair – later identified as Tyeisha Taylor, 42, of Newark, and a 15-year-old male – and transported them to Bloomfield Police Headquarters to be charged, authorities said.
