Patch Reader Questions Police Blotter Item

Resident says carelessness should not be categorized as theft.

This letter to the editor pertains to the following Westfield Police Blotter item:  April 18: A Westfield resident reports being the victim of theft. The victim states that she left her iPhone at the Westfield Diner and an unknown suspect stole the phone, valued at $320. I'm sure a lively debate would ensue should I question how a woman that left her cell phone at the Westfield Diner can go to the PD to report a theft.  Maybe she finds solace by ignoring her carelessness and, instead, characterize the finder as a thief.

Westfield Man Charged With Theft at Train Station

The following information was obtained from the Westfield Police Department. An arrest does not indicate a conviction.

Murray Perch, 61, of Westfield, was arrested on Friday, May 18 and charged with theft, according to the Westfield Police Department.  Perch, who runs Sunnyside News at the Westfield Train Station, was "picked up in the late afternoon after a plainclothes officer observed" Perch allegedly removing money from a pay station machine at the Westfield train station, according to Westfield Police Capt. Cliff Auchter. Because the amount of the alleged theft was under $200, this is a disorderly persons charge and the case will be heard in Municipal Court, Auchter said.  Perch was released and has a pending court date of June 8.  When contacted by Patch, Perch said he had no comment.
