BUTLER, N.J. — A captain of the Butler Fire Department was charged with stealing auto parts from his workplace and hiding them in the firehouse, Butler police said.
Police first received information that there were “numerous boxes” of Ford auto parts stored at the Butler Firehouse on Carey Avenue on June 15, Lt. Michael Moeller said. The person who tipped police about the boxes also suspected the auto parts may have been stolen from the Route 23 AutoMall by an employee, Moeller said.
Moeller and Det. Jarred Schmiedhauser then conducted an investigation along with the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office and on July 30, after speaking with witnesses, police searched the Butler Firehouse and surrounding structures on the property, Moeller said.
