A Paterson NJ woman accused of going on a spree of car burglaries in the borough faces new charges.
According to authorities, 31-year-old Angelica Cordero now faces six (6) additional charges of burglary and theft after additional victims were matched to their stolen property.
Ms. Cordero was originally arrested when Glen Rock police officers investigating a recent string of robberies spotted her walking to her vehicle on Cedar Street.
Initially, Ms. Cordero was released after being checked for warrants and interviewed. However, a subsequent check of cars in the area revealed that several had been entered and rifled through. Detectives then tracked down Ms. Cordero at her home in Paterson and brought her to Glen Rock police headquarters.
According to police, Ms. Cordero later admitted to entering the cars and stealing GPS units, money, electronic devices, and other items.
Ms. Cordero was initially charged with single counts of burglary and theft.
In New Jersey, burglary is addressed by N.J.S.A. 2C:18-2. As set forth by the statute, burglary is typically charged as a third degree felony. If convicted of third degree burglary, Ms. Cordero may be sentenced to as many as five (5) years in New Jersey State Prison.
Ms. Cordero was being held at the Bergen County Jail on an increased bail of $100,000.00.
