BELLEVILLE, N.J. (AP) - Authorities in New Jersey say they’ve tracked down a burglar who wore a fedora and thin mask over his eyes when he broke into a home.
Belleville police say 25-year-old Jermaine Ramirez, of Newark, allegedly broke into a home around 3:45 a.m. Friday. They say he grabbed a woman who woke up and dragged her into another room.
The woman’s child then ran to alert a grandparent in the house. But Ramirez allegedly got away with $20 from a purse in the home.
He was also wearing a neon green and black T-shirt and black basketball shorts.
It wasn’t known Tuesday if Ramirez has retained an attorney. Authorities have not disclosed the specific charges he’s facing.
