At 7:20 p.m. on Aug. 24, Patrolman Peter Goodman observed a Ryder rental truck exiting the Boulder Run Shop- ping Center and turning onto Godwin Avenue. The rear of the truck was open and some of the contents spilled onto Godwin Avenue. The items turned out to be plastic storage bins that were the property of CVS Pharmacy, which has a store located in the shopping center. The men were pulled over and the rented truck also proved to contain storage bins from Walgreens Pharmacy and Rite-Aid Pharmacy. The two men in the truck, a 46-year-old Paterson man and a 43-year-old Paterson man, were arrested and charged with theft and with possession of stolen property. The 46-year-old man had been arrested for the same type of theft in Westwood on June 9 and in Bogota on Aug. 2. His bail was set at $5,000. The 43-year-old man’s bail was set at $2,500. Both men were remanded to Bergen County Jail when they could not make bail. Wyckoff Police Chief Benjamin Fox noted that this type of theft has been esca- lating in Bergen County. The storage bins are taken to recycling areas and sold to be recycled for their plastic content. The rented truck contained about 300 storage bins, plastic pallets, and corrugated card- board.
