An arrest has been made in connection with the break-in and robbery that occurred at a Howell pizzeria last month.
HOWELL, NJ - One suspect has been apprehended following a break-in and robbery at a Howell Township pizzeria.
Capricci Pizzeria & Restaurant on New Friendship Road was robbed of hundreds of dollars in cash last month, owner Anthony Anzevino told Patch. Its front door was also smashed in the process, running the small business owner another few hundred dollars to replace.
“Yesterday was a sad [day] for Capricci as we were broken into during the middle of the night,” Anzevino said in a Facebook post detailing the event. “We apologize for the late start in the day, but we had to let the Howell’s finest police do there investigation and took sometime for us to clean up the store.”
