Matthew Zaledzieski, 38, who lives in town, first broke a front-door window to get into Time to Eat Pizzeria on Haledon Avenue on Dec. 30 before fleeing with $50 from the cash register, Detective Walter Richmond said Friday.

He did it again on New Year’s Day before taking $14 from the register, the detective said.

Richmond investigated with help from Officer Arthur Canestrino. They got surveillance footage from several surrounding businesses catching Zaledzieski in action, he said.

A few days later, Canestrino spotted Zaledzieski walking on Planten Avenue and North 8th Street and arrested him.

After admitting both break-ins, Zaledzieski was charged with two counts each of burglary and theft and brought to the Passaic County Jail. A judge released him soon after, under New Jersey’s 2017 bail reform law.
