IDs Sought In Blewett Recycling Yard Burglary: Howell Police

HOWELL, NJ — The owners of John Blewett Recycling are offering a reward for informatino leading to the conviction of two people who broke into the company's offices, Howell police said.

In a post of Facebook, the police department said it is seeking the identities of the two people, who broke into the company's office on Herbertsville Road during the early hours on the weekend of Dec. 15 and 16.

"They obviously knew there was video surveillance as they covered their faces and wore gloves," the police department post said. "What they didn’t realize was there were no significant proceeds to steal. They did manage to score a pocket full of loose change."

Police said the $1,000 reward for the identification and subsequent arrest of those involved is "far more than what was stolen."
