After Shoe Thief Arrest, Glen Rock PD Trying To Return Each Pair

GLEN ROCK, NJ – A 21-year-old Fair Lawn man faces charges after police say he stole several pairs of shoes from the front porches of homes in Glen Rock.

When Richard Larrivieri was arrested Thursday, Police Chief Bruce Ackermann said he was in possession of “several” pairs of stolen shoes and officers are trying to return the items to their rightful owners.

Residents in the area of Henry Street who may be missing shoes should check Glen Rock Police Department’s Facebook page to see if they own any of the photographed pairs. If you believe any of them belong to you, please call Det. Lucas Doney at 201-670-3947 or Detective Sgt. James Calaski at 201-670-3948.

Larrivieri's arrest stems from an investigation into a resident's report that a man tried to steal a package last Thursday from the front porch of his Henry Street home, Ackermann said.

The resident provided police with a physical description of the thief, as well as the license plate number of the vehicle he fled the area in, which allowed for Officer Jim Donnelly to track down the suspect, Larrivieri, Ackermann said.

Larrivieri was taken to police headquarters, where he was charged with theft and released pending an appearance in municipal court, Ackermann said.
