Roberts Pool Burglars Caught, Jailed

After weeks of detective work,  arrested four individuals in connection with the .

Kenneth Wagner, 19, of Haddon Township, was the only adult among those who allegedly burglarized and vandalized the facility.

The other three, residents of Collingswood and Haddon Township, are juveniles; as such, their names were not released.

All suspects were charged with third-degree burglary, third-degree theft and fourth-degree criminal mischief.

Unable to post a $2,500 cash bail, Wagner was remanded to the Camden County correctional facility after his arrest. The custodial status of the juvenile defendants was not immediately available at press time.

Property damaged in the burglary included a small window at the pool concession stand, which police say Wagner and the others smashed to gain entry to the building.

Inside, they allegedly scattered concession goods and floor cleaner when they couldn't force open the cash register (which police said contained no money). A pool staffer later told Patch that the register was found floating in the baby pool.

Wagner and the teens then allegedly damaged a computer tower and broke an automated lift chair used by handicapped guests, dismantling it from its housing and throwing it into the pool.

Police spokesman Cpl. Thomas Hartshaw praised the work of Collingswood detectives in working quickly and diligently to resolve the matter.

"They interviewed several juveniles, completing a thorough investigation that led to the apprehension of several suspects," Hartshaw said.
