Carlstadt NJ police officers arrested two people accused of stealing expensive food items from a local warehouse.

One of the suspects owns Kristian Trucking Inc. and the other suspect is an employee of the delivery company. According to Bergen County NJ prosecutors, the suspects were hired by a food distributor to deliver salmon, cheese, and sugar from a warehouse located on 16th Street in Carlstadt, New Jersey.
