Bloomfield Police Arrest Man Accused Of Multiple Car Burglaries

BLOOMFIELD, NJ — Fingerprints and surveillance footage helped lead Bloomfield police to a man accused of committing multiple car burglaries in the township, authorities announced Wednesday.

Bloomfield Public Safety Director Sam DeMaio commended crime scene detectives for their work, which led to the arrest of Tyquill Warren, 20, of Newark.

Authorities released the following allegations:

“On Jan. 23, Bloomfield police took a report of a stolen motor vehicle from the area of 458 Beardsley Avenue. In that same week, Bloomfield patrol officers investigated three other automobile burglaries that occurred sometime in the overnight hours. Those burglaries took place in the area of LaFrance Avenue, North 15th Street and Floyd Avenue.”

Authorities continued:

“A Bloomfield police crime scene unit processed the vehicles and were able to lift latent fingerprints from their interiors. On March 3, the Bloomfield crime scene unit and detectives received a confirmation from the NJ State Police lab on a latent print hit that was recovered from inside of the stolen vehicle. Detectives were able to build probable cause with the print hit and surveillance video of Tyquill Warren. On March 29, detectives responded to Mr. Warren’s Newark residence, armed with an arrest warrant and apprehended Mr. Warren without incident.”

According to authorities, Warren was transported to Bloomfield police headquarters, where he was interviewed and “gave a full confession” to detectives.

Warren has been charged with credit card fraud, receiving stolen property and multiple counts of burglary into auto, police said.
