Rahway police have arrested two juveniles in connection with a string of overnight break-ins that struck at least four businesses earlier this month, the department announced.
Detectives identified and apprehended the two suspects following an extensive follow-up investigation, police said in a statement. Because the suspects are juveniles, police did not release their names or ages.
The investigation remains ongoing, and additional charges may be forthcoming, according to the department.
