He was a passenger in a car stopped for driving without headlights, police say.
An alleged shoplifter sought by Virginia authorities for the last five years was apparently living in Pennsylvania before being arrested last week in New Jersey.
Washington Township police said officers stopped a vehicle for driving without headlights about midnight Sept. 9 on Route 57.
A passenger, David Buczek, 46, was found to be wanted by the Chesterfield County, Virginia, Sheriff's Department and taken into custody, police said. Virginia court records and the sheriff's department confirmed Buczek was a fugitive, charged in 2011 with concealment of merchandise.

Washington Township police listed Allentown as Buczek's residence. Chesterfield County is just south of Richmond, Va., and about 250 miles from Allentown.
After his arrest in New Jersey, police allegedly found Buczek had a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. He was charged and sent to the Warren County jail.
