Englewood Man Accused Of Stealing Over $19K In Burglaries: Police

ENGLEWOOD, NJ — An Englewood man was arrested last week and accused of stealing thousands of dollars from multiple Downton businesses in late night and early morning burglaries, according to the Englewood Police Department.

The man is 36-year-old Adnan Hyder, whom police identified through video footage from city cameras and local shop security cameras.

On June 4, before midnight, around $200 in cash was stolen from the Palisade Avenue Dunkins, and almost $19,000 in cash, cigarettes, and lottery tickets was taken from the convenience store Towne Stationery, police said.

Close by, on the same day, there was a burglary attempt at Lisa Nails and at JZ’s Fish & Wings.

Three days later, on June 7th, at around 3:51 a.m., officers arrived at the same Dunkin store within moments of a report of a burglary-in-progress by the opening manager. There were signs of another forced entry and officers found Hyder inside the office area after he had just removed over $100 in cash from both a register and an employee’s bag, according to police.

Once inside Police Headquarters, Hyder purposely damaged a plexiglass COVID barrier, police said. He was then taken to Bergen County Jail and released from custody on June 14.

Detectives searched his Englewood home on a warrant and found suspected proceeds and other evidence, on June 9.

Hyder was charged with three counts of burglary, three counts of theft, two counts of attempted burglary, one count of possession of burglary tools, and one count of criminal mischief.
