Generator, Camping Gear Stolen From Home

Some $600 worth of property was stolen from a Tufts Trail home in the past month, and police are looking for the thief.

The Hopatcong resident alerted police that a Powermate portable 3,200-watt generator, Dewalt 14-volt power drill, Coleman inflatable camping mattress and a black grill cover had all been stolen from his basement within the past month without his knowledge, Lt. Thomas Kmetz said.

The basement door was never locked, the resident told police, and when he recently went downstairs to move some things around, he realized the generator box was empty, Kmetz said.

That’s when he noticed the other property was gone, Kmetz said.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact the department at 973-398-5000.
