2 Arrested In Connection With Wall Township Restaurant Burglaries

WALL, NJ - Two Brick residents were arrested and charged last weekend in connection with a string of burglaries at Monmouth County dining establishments earlier this month.

Officers from the Wall Township Police Department arrested Ryan Dautorio, 30, and Natalina Rossano, 27 on Sunday following an investigation into four commercial burglaries at Jersey Shore eateries between Dec. 13 and Dec. 19. Dautorio was charged with four counts of third degree burglary, four counts of third degree theft and four counts of third degree criminal mischief.

Rossano was charged with two counts of third degree burglary, two counts of third degree theft,
two counts of third degree criminal mischief and two counts of conspiracy.

Dautorio was later transported to the Monmouth County Correctional Institute.

According to Wall Township Police Department Capt. Greg Carpino, the establishments affected by the burglaries include four Wall eateries: Pasquale's Pizzeria, Cluck U Chicken, Five Guys and Pastosa Ravioli.

The investigation was a joint effort made by officers from Wall Township, Lacey Township, Brick Township, Berkeley Township, Manchester Township, Toms River Township and Spring Lake Borough, as well as officials from the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office and Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office.

“Collaborative efforts of county law enforcement and local police led to the arrest Sunday morning of two individuals from Ocean County," Carpino said Monday. "These arrests are another example of the concerted efforts by county and local law enforcement to stop recent commercial burglaries in Monmouth and Ocean Counties."
