2 Charged In Tri-State Commercial Burglaries: Galloway Police

GALLOWAY, NJ — Two men were charged during a multi-jurisdictional investigation into a string of commercial burglaries in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Galloway police said.

Two suspects were identified in several of the crimes and warrants were issued for their arrests, police said.

In the morning of June 14, Devin J. Arnold, 22, was taken into custody at a Galloway home, police said. Arnold tried to run away when approached by police, but he was unsuccessful and was quickly apprehended, police said.

Laqua A. Tucker, 20, was found at his Pleasantville home, and he surrendered, police said.

“Today’s operation is a prime example how multi-agency efforts and cooperation can lead to successful outcomes,” said Galloway Police Chief Richard D. Barber. “Galloway is proud to work with our fellow law enforcement partners to investigate and solve crime that affects the public throughout New Jersey.”

Arnold and Tucker were processed on their outstanding warrants from several agencies, according to police. They were both taken to the Atlantic County Justice facility pending a future court hearing.

Galloway Township Police Department thanked the Pleasantville Police Department, Atlantic City Police Department, Stafford Township Police Department and the New Jersey State Police Woodbine Station for collaborating with their agency throughout this investigation, including Friday’s warrant service.
