“Trenton police say a man sneaked into police headquarters and stole a police radio, a computer monitor and a sergeant’s attache case. Anthony Williams was arrested Sunday after authorities said he tried to sell the radio to customers at a Taco Bell drive-through. Police say a video shows Williams attempting to get into the police station, but being turned away. Later, authorities say the 41-year-old walked into an office when no one was manning the security station in the lobby. They say Williams spoke on the police radio, which helped police realize the device was missing.”
-The Asbury Park Press reports the news. Trenton is New Jersey’s state capitol.
