NEWARK -- A Somerset County man was arrested early Sunday after police said he broke into a Newark pharmacy to steal body wash and moisturizing lotion.

Police went to the Broad Street pharmacy just after 2 a.m., when its burglar alarm went off, Newark Public Safety Anthony Ambrose said in an announcement of the arrest.

After responding officers reviewed surveillance video at the store, a description of the man went out, and he was spotted a few blocks away, Ambrose said.

Police said the man was not found with opioids or other prescription drugs, but rather with a shopping cart full of about $70 worth of household items. The haul included Dove and Day Logic body wash, Oil of Olay moisturizing lotion and Newport Cigarettes, said Derek Glenn, a Newark Police spokesman.

The suspect, David Cardinale, 28, of Hillsborough, was charged with burglary and possession of burglary tools.
