Serial shed burglar charged after Gloucester Township investigation
GLOUCESTER TWP., N.J. - Police arrested a man accused of breaking into multiple sheds in Sicklerville after a traffic stop and search turned up evidence of other burglaries, according to investigators.
What we know:
Gloucester Township Police responded to a report of a suspect breaking into a shed on the unit block of Vance Avenue at around 12:22 a.m. on July 21, 2026. Officers arriving in the area saw a white Chevrolet Equinox fleeing the scene, police said.
When officers tried to stop the vehicle, the driver did not comply and kept driving.
