$20K In Fish Tank Equipment Stolen From Glen Rock Home

GLEN ROCK, NJ — More than $20,000 in fish tank equipment was stolen from a borough home recently, police reported.

Officers were called to the home the afternoon of Dec. 31 by a friend of the homeowner, who was checking the home while the homeowner was away, said Chief Dean Ackermann.

A large fish tank in the basement was tampered with. Police found a door was left unlocked and possible pry marks on another interior door, Ackermann said.

When the resident came home, he reported that more than $20,000 in lights, pumps, electronics, and corals, $2,200, and oxycodone tablets were stolen, said Ackermann.

The homeowner suspects that people he had "business disputes" with about buying the fish tank supplies may have been involved, the chief said.

Glen Rock Police detectives are investigating the incident.
