Police: Alert Neighbors Help Nab Burglar

Two eagle-eyed residents helped Gloucester Township police catch a burglary suspect. 

Police said a resident contacted them just after 11:30 p.m. Friday to report that a man had just entered his neighbor's home, and that the neighbor was on vacation. 

Responding officers found the rear window of the residence on Fairmount Avenue smashed. As officers searched the area, police recieved a separate call that a man matching the description of the burglary suspect was reaching into a vehicle. Police caught the suspect, 29-year-old Giuseppe D'Agostino, in the area of Indiana Avenue. 

He was arrested and charged with burglary, criminal attempt and theft. D'Agostino, of the 400 block of Berlin Road, Clementon, was held in the Camden County Jail on $50,000 bail. 

D'Agostino previously served five years in prison on weapons and conspiracy charges, according to the state Department of Corrections' website.
