Richard Jarry (Courtesy photo) Richard Jarry, a 36-year-old homeless man believed to stay in the Hackettstown area, was arrested Saturday in Stanhope, a Sussex County borough less than 10 miles away, police announced Wednesday. He is being held on $10,000 bail.
Jarry allegedly entered a vehicle that was parked in the 400 block of Warren Street, town police said in a news release last week. He only got $2 in change but did swipe a checkbook from the center console, police said.
Police last week also alerted residents to a rash of burglaries after vehicles were broken into on Hurley Drive, Willow Grove Street and Cindy Terrace. Police said that there is no evidence linking Jarry to those crimes.
Residents are being urged to lock their car doors and not to leave valuables in their vehicles.
