Woodbridge Little League Hit In Baseball Burglary Spree, Cops Say

WOODBRIDGE, NJ — Woodbridge Little League was hit by a man-and-woman burglar duo who police say has broken into nearly 30 Little League concession stands all over New Jersey.

The news was first announced by the Morris County Sheriff's Office: The burglaries, which span April 24 through June 20, have been reported in Morris, Bergen, Essex, Middlesex, Passaic and Sussex counties. Most of the towns are in North Jersey; Woodbridge appears to be the only town in Middlesex County affected.

As of Friday, June 21, burglaries were reported at 21 Little League fields across the state.

However, it was in Woodbridge where surveillance video caught the man and woman breaking into the town's Little League concession stand on Van Buren Street, said the Morris County Sheriff.

"My God. These are Little League kids, non profit, we're all volunteers here," a Little League board member in Wayne, Jim Pellegrini, told ABC7. "What people would do to steal money from a snack stand?"

The couple breaks down the doors of the structures and steals cash, candy, beverages and other items, according to the Morris County Sheriff. In one town, the duo made off with as much as $700 cash.

Additional images were captured at Little League stands in Teaneck and Hasbrouck Heights in Bergen County.
