New Jersey teens charged with Hurricane Irene thefts

Two New Jersey teens have been charged with stealing from Washington Crossing State Park during Hurricane Irene, targeting the visitor’s center while the power was out.

State Police have charged 18-year-old Timothy Davis-Napier and an unnamed 17-year-old with burglary and theft, the Associated Press reports. The two are accused so entering the Hopewell center when a power outage disabled the alarm and stealing more than a dozen Revolutionary War weapons.

All the weapons were recovered, but police can’t figure out how the pair knew the alarm was compromised.
