Police Investigate Motor Vehicle Burglaries

Millburn police are investigating a number of motor vehicle burglaries in the Wyoming section and have made one arrest.

Millburn police arrested a Newark teen early Monday morning in connection with three motor vehicle burglaries. Ramone K. Hannah-Dismukes, 19, was charged with three counts of burglary and one count of theft of movable property.

At about 4:30 a.m. Maplewood police contacted Millburn police that they had Hannah-Dismukes in custody as a suspect of burglarizing several cars in Millburn township, police said. Officers were able to locate a Myrtle Avenue "home address" on one of two GPS units recovered, police said. A vehicle at that address was found to have been entered and the owner reported a GPS unit stolen, according to police.

Officers found two additional vehicles parked in driveways on Myrtle Avenue had been burglarized, police said, but nothing was reported missing from those cars.

Hannah-Dismukes was taken into custody by Maplewood police after his Millburn arrest.

Several other motor vehicle burglaries were reported, but police are not linking them to Hannah-Dismukes. Those reports are:

• The registration, insurance card and $70 in cash were taken from a car parked on Linden Street. Police believe the burglary happened between 12:30-8 a.m. on Monday.
• Nothing was taken from a vehicle parked in a Bailey Road driveway, but the car door was open and the items inside were strewn about. It was reported at about 8:50 a.m. on Monday.
• Nothing was reported missing from a car parked in a driveway on Linden Street. Police believe someone entered the car between 12:30-8 a.m.
• Three cars were entered that were parked at a Bailey Street residence. The registration and insurance cards were taken from two of the cars, and nothing was reported missing from the third. The resident also reported someone took two bicycles from the garage. One bike was across the street, and the second was described as a black Trek mountain bike valued at $600.
• The XM satellite radio unit was taken from a car parked at a Myrtle Avenue residence. The report was filed just before 7 a.m.
