2 Arrests Made In NJ Little League Concession Stand Break-Ins

MORRIS COUNTY, NJ — Two people have been arrested in connection to a rash of Little League concession stand burglaries in North Jersey, the Morris County Sheriff's Office said.

Michael Kaloudis, 31, of Stanhope and Angela Perez, 34, of Middlesex, both face burglary charges in connection to the break-ins, a Morris County Sheriff's Office spokesperson said. The pair were arrested during a traffic stop in Bergen County on Monday; more information about the arrest was not immediately available. The Bergen County Prosecutor's and Sheriff's Offices did not immediately return Patch's request for comment.

At least 27 concession stands at local baseball fields have been targeted since mid-April, officials said last week. Most of the break-ins caused significant damages to the doors and the structure, and the thieves made off with cash, candy, drinks, and other items, officials said.

Towns in seven different counties have been affected, primarily in northern New Jersey. Morris County appears to be the most-affected area.

The Morris County burglaries include:

• Parsippany-Troy Hills E. Little League on May 2;
• Jefferson Parks Department concession stand between May 11 and May 13;
• Burnham Park Little League concession stand between May 15 and May 16.
• Lake Parsippany Park concession stand between May 24 and May 27;
• Madison High School concession stand between May 31 and June 1;
• Dodge Field in Madison concession stand between May 31 and June 2;
• Anderson Field in Kinnelon concession stand between June 6 and June 7;
• Donatoni Park concession stand, Rockaway Borough, break-in reported June 20.

Bergen County authorities are investigating related burglaries at four stands in:

• Elmwood Park
• Paramus
• Teaneck
• Hasbrouck Heights

In Essex County, stands were burglarized in:

• Belleville
• Livingston
• Verona

In Middlesex County, a concession stand was broken into in Woodbridge.

In Passaic County, thieves burglarized the same stand twice in Totowa, two separate fields in Clifton, and stands in Wayne, Paterson, Little Falls and Bloomingdale.

In Sussex County, two stands in Stanhope Borough were burglarized.
