WEST MARLBOROUGH: Burglar in custody

West Marlborough Township is normally a nonstarter crime-wise, so there was a degree of consternation when the State Police at Avondale announced on July 27 that there had been a house burglary. They posted on social media several surveillance photos of the burglar and his Hyundai. Although the police didn't release the address, locals had no trouble recognizing the distinctive barn doors in one of the photos.
Fortunately, an arrest was made within a few days.
I was impressed with the clarity of the photos taken by the home surveillance system. It was almost as if the pillowcase-toting bad guy had snapped a selfie of himself. You could identify the brand of shirt he was wearing, and the scars on his arms were distinctive.
