NEW MILFORD, NJ — A Teaneck man was arrested in connection with four car burglaries that were reported June 22, according to the police.

He was also charged by Teaneck police with resisting arrest and by River Edge police with receiving stolen property and identity theft.

Estiverne was released on a summons with a return court date.
