An Uber driver was charged with conspiracy on Friday in connection with a Nov. 9 attempted burglary in Parsippany.

Frank Ditaranto, 47, of East Hanover, faces one third-degree count of conspiracy to commit burglary. Ditaranto was released on his own recognizance pending a court date.

The resident of the home told police that on Nov. 9, shortly after noon, Ditaranto knocked on her front door and said he was an Uber driver and was looking for a man, who lived at a different address.

Ten minutes later the resident heard footsteps in the home and the closing of a bedroom door, she told police. The resident called out to see if it was her mother, who also resides there, but did not get a response.

The resident said she went to her mother’s bedroom where she found the door had been locked and became concerned. When she yelled that she was calling the police, a woman from inside the room shouted for her not to.

The suspect exited the bedroom and pushed the resident in an attempt to escape, police said. The two struggled and the suspect fled.

The victim received minor cuts and bruises during the altercation, but refused medical attention.

The suspect was apprehended and identified as Vicki Izzo, 47, of East Hanover. She was remanded to the Morris County Correctional Facility pending a detention hearing next week.

Detectives from the the Parsippany Investigative Division who responded to the scene were able to identify Izzo and Ditaranto as the suspects after receiving assistance from the Roseland and East Hanover police departments.

Police did not specify the connection or relationship between Ditaranto and Izzo.
