John Veccia, 28, was released on a court summons following his arrest on shoplifting charges just before 5 p.m., Detective Anthony Fugnitti said.

It was the department's 43rd arrest in Teterboro this year, he said.

Moonachie police made 45 Teterboro arrests all of last year.

Before Walmart and Costco opened in Teterboro, Moonachie police averaged seven to 14 arrests a year out of the southern end of the tiny borough. Staffing is a huge issue , all agree.
