Man Charged With Receiving Stolen Items In Wayne: Police

WAYNE, NJ — A Maryland man was charged with receiving stolen property, according to the Wayne Police Department.

Wayne police charged Ever Vasquez-Hernandez, 27, of Columbia, Maryland, on Sunday with receiving stolen property, said Det. Captain Dan Daly, a spokesperson for the police department.

Vasquez-Hernandez is currently in custody in the Passaic County Jail, said Daly. It is unclear if bail was set.

Daly said an officer stopped Vasquez-Hernandez’s car in the Willowbrook Mall parking lot on Sunday because he was “driving in a reckless manner.” He was the only person in the car, police said.

The car’s plate — a temporary license plate from Maryland — was traced back to another vehicle, said Daly.

After searching the car, police found "several purses and approximately 30 bottles of fragrances," that police said were valued at about $4,000 and came from Willowbrook Mall’s Macy’s store, Daly said.

Police also found that Vasquez-Hernandez had a warrant for assault from East Windsor, said Daly.
