EAST BRUNSWICK -- Two people hired to powerwash a house in East Brunswick were caught trying to steal from the residence, authorities said.

After departing for a few minutes while the pair was outside working, the homeowner returned to find the man and woman walking out of the back of the Henry Street home with some of her belongings, police said.

The two accessed a rear sun room, but never entered the main part of the house, authorities said.

John Solazzo, 53, of Monroe and Dayna Ochoa-Aragon, 31, of North Brunswick were each charged with burglary and theft. Ochoa-Aragon was also charged with hindering apprehension. She had a $10,000 warrant out for her arrest in North Bergen on prostitution charges, police said.

Ochoa-Aragon posted bail, according to police. Solazzo was issued a summons and released.
