Barnegat Police Charges Manahawkin Man In Connection With Burglary

The arrest concluded an investigation that began in the summer of 2010.

Barnegat Police recently charged a Manahawkin man in connection with a burglary that occurred on Burr Street two years ago.

Detective William Hetrick charged Robert Guiendon of the Mayetta section of Stafford Township on May 23, based on a fingerprint, which the Barnegat Police took shortly after the burglary and submitted to the FBI.

The burglary of a Burr Street residence occurred on or about July 21, 2010, police said.

"During the 2010 investigation, Hetrick was able to secure a latent fingerprint from a window screen that was removed by the burglar to gain access to the residence," the police report read.

Two years after it was submitted, the FBIs IAFIS fingerprint system matched that print with those of Guiendon.
