4 Arrested For Running Bergen County Burglary Ring: Prosecutor

Four people were arrested in connection with several burglaries that occurred in Bergen County last month, authorities announced Tuesday.

They were arrested following a month-long investigation by a special task force comprised of county and local enforcement personnel.

The task force investigated burglaries that occurred in Paramus, Teaneck, Englewood, Oradell, and Tenafly from June 16 to 25, said acting Bergen County Prosecutor Dennis Calo.

The four people arrested were:

• Aasim Boone, 35, of Englewood
• Joslin Harrington, 32, of Irvington
• Justin Dahzy, 19, of Bogota
• Valerie Joyner, 26, of Wanaque

The Hackensack Police Department in June contacted the prosecutor's office Special Investigations Unit and gave them information about a rental vehicle Boone and the others used to commit multiple burglaries, Calo said.

Boone, Harrington, Dahzy and Joyner were each charged with various counts of burglary, theft, possession of burglary tools and criminal mischief. Boone was charged with seven counts of burglary while Harrington was charged with five. Dahzy was charged with three counts burglary while Joyner was charged with one count.

Authorities spoke with witnesses and reviewed surveillance video, eventually getting search warrants and arrest warrants during the investigation.

The task force was comprised of members from the Bergen County prosecutor's and sheriff's offices and several police departments from Englewood, Englewood Cliffs, Hackensack, Teaneck, Tenafly, Oradell, Paramus, and Rochelle Park.
