Burglar Sold Stolen Items to Hackettstown Pawn Shop, Cops Say

The charges continued coming this week for a Long Valley man accused of burglarizing a home on Fairview Avenue in early October. 

Hackettstown Police charged William Gallucci, 21, with receiving stolen property and theft by deception on Tuesday after discovering he sold $6,150 of stolen jewelry to a pawn shop, Sgt. Darren Tynan said.

Gallucci sold the jewelry to The Gold Mine on Main Street in Hackettstown for $500 after telling the shop the goods belonged to him, Tynan said.

Washington Township police arrested Gallucci on Oct. 24 in connection with the burglary of a Fairview Avenue home on Oct. 12. The jewelry, cash and a video game were all taken from the home, police said.

Gallucci has since been lodged in the Morris County Correctional Facility in lieu of $15,000 bail with no 10-percent option.

A second arrest was made Nov. 5 in relation to the burglary, this time for Zachary Temple, 23, also of Long Valley. Temple was charged with receiving stolen property and also lodged in Morris County Correctional Facility in lieu of $15,000 bail with no 10-percent option.
