Burger King Burglarized By North Jersey Duo, Cops Say

PASSAIC COUNTY, NJ — Two men have been arrested for stealing from a Passaic County Burger King restaurant, police said.

The incident happened on Oct. 26, 2025, after authorities discovered that the Burger King on Belmont Avenue had been broken into after hours.

Police said that the chain restaurant’s drive-thru window had been forced open, and a safe containing money had been stolen. Additionally, several security cameras within the store had been tampered with.

Untampered-with surveillance footage showed two masked men in dark clothes entering the business and using a dolly to extract the safe, authorities said.

Exterior footage showed the men loading the safe into a grey Acura sedan, which was registered to Kenneth Marcano, 24, of Paterson.

Just days later, authorities found Marcano driving the Acura and discovered him to have an outstanding warrant for possession of burglary tools.

He was arrested for the Burger King heist and charged with burglary, theft, and criminal mischief.

It wasn’t for several months, up to this past Monday, when police found Marcano’s partner in crime, Savion Ambert, also 24, also from Paterson, authorities said.

Following further investigation, Ambert voluntarily showed up to the Haledon Police Department and confessed to his role in the crime, police said.

Ambert was charged with burglary, theft, criminal mischief, and possession of burglary tools.
