PHILADELPHIA - A man accused of burglarizing convenience stores across South Jersey has been arrested here.
Tony Petrozzelli, 50, of Camden was arrested June 9 in Philadelphia, New Jersey State Police said Monday.
Petrozzelli, who was imprisoned after a similar spree in 2018, was wanted in connection with about 20 break-ins across Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Salem counties, according to police.
He had been sought since May 8, when troopers from the Woodstown Station saw a suspicious vehicle outside a Heritage Dairy Store in Upper Pittsgrove.
Petrozzelli allegedly fled in the vehicle, which had been reported stolen and was linked to multiple burglaries, police said.
A source said Rose approached President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team about a role in his incoming administration shortly after he lost the Nov. 3 election to Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.).
