In February of 2012, several motor vehicles were burglarized in Waldwick, Allendale, and Ramsey. An inves- tigation was conducted involving all three towns. In May 2012, three individuals were apprehended and charged with multiple counts of burglary, theft, fraudulent use of credit cards, and receiving stolen property. Last month, the following individuals were sentenced for their involvement in the burglaries: Adam M. Gross of Hackensack was sentenced to five years in prison; Danielle P.

Police Chief George Scherb and Borough Engineer John Yakimik agreed to confer and work out the safest possible route before the market is approved by a formal vote of the council. Tentative market hours would be 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays, which sponsors hope will stimulate shopping in the Allendale commercial district in general. Council members thought the farmers market was a good idea and agreed that holding it on Saturdays, to avoid conflict with the farmers market held in Ramsey on Sundays, was also a good idea. J. KOSTER Guitar is prize Restaurateur (continued from page 3) over, the premises calmed down considerably, township officials said. Kastrati also enjoyed a solid reputation in Allendale. Allendale residents who sometimes dined at Pastafino said that the restaurant’s closing was quite sudden. Originally a Bosnian national, Kastrati was reportedly traumatized by the Serbian massacres that took place in his former homeland. He remained active in local business communities and spoke at meetings a few years ago both in Allendale and in Wyckoff about parking and traffic concerns. Federal officials report that Kastrati had agreed to forfeit $201,109 to the United States. He had previously forfeited $454,556 to the United States some years ago after Internal Revenue Service agents seized that amount from five bank accounts in which they suspected structuring. He was released on a $250,000 bond and faces a possible 10 years in prison and a fine of $500,000. His telephone number is unlisted and he could not be reached for comment. The government charged that Kastrati had most recently deposited money in a dozen individual accounts at four separate banks in amounts just under $10,000, the threshold for reporting individual transactions to the government.
