A Rahway man has been charged in connection with a series of burglaries to local businesses.
A month-long investigation led by Detectives Kevin Mikolajczyk and Michael Burnette identified Hayes as the suspect wanted in connection with the following burglaries:
* US Fried Chicken & Pizza (1200 E. St. George Ave) on September 15th
* Meat City (240 E. St. George Ave) on October 6th
* The Smoked House (239 E. Elizabeth Ave) on October 8th
* Dunkin Donuts at the 76 Gas Station (101 N. Park Ave) on October 13th.
“Cases like this often take longer than we would like, but reducing burglary remains one of our priorities,” said Police Chief Jonathan Parham. “We are very proud of the work done leading up to this arrest.”
Police arrested and charged Henry Hayes with multiple counts of third-degree burglary and criminal mischief on October 19th.
A judge ordered Hayes be remanded to the Union county Jail pending an appearance in Superior Court.
Note: Hayes was also charged with burglary, criminal mischief, and theft charges in Roselle.
All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
