Additional charges have been filed against a Paterson NJ woman accused of going on a spree of car burglaries in the borough.

According to Paterson NJ police, 31-year-old Angelica Cordero faces six (6) new charges of burglary and theft after more victims were matched to their stolen property.

Ms. Cordero was arrested when Glen Rock police officers investigating a recent string of robberies saw her walking to her vehicle on Cedar Street. Officers initially released Ms. Cordero after interviewing her and checking her record for warrants. But a subsequent check of cars in the area revealed that several had been broken into and rifled through.

Officers eventually located Ms. Cordero at her home in Paterson and brought her to Glen Rock police headquarters. According to police, Ms. Cordero admitted to entering the cars and stealing GPS units, money, and other items.

Before the filing of the new charges, Ms. Cordero was charged with single counts of burglary and theft.

Burglary in New Jersey is addressed by N.J.S.A. 2C:18-2. In accordance with the statute, burglary is usually classified as a third degree felony. If convicted of third degree burglary, Ms. Cordero could face a term of imprisonment of up to five (5) years in state prison.

Ms. Cordero was held at the Bergen County Jail on an enhanced bail of $100,000.00.
