The Raritan Police Department announced the following arrests and charges:

On March 23rd, 2024 at 6:04 p.m., Raritan officers were dispatched to Gaston Avenue on a report of a male who appeared to be committing motor vehicle burglaries. Officers quickly located the male at Quick Chek on West Somerset Street, who was identified as Jesse Panyko, 40, no current address. Officers determined that Panyko did not burglarize any motor vehicles. However, Panyko was permanently trespassed from the Quick Chek. Panyko was placed under arrest for trespassing and later released pending a court appearance.

On March 25th, 2024, Andrew Glicklich, 47, of Raritan, was charged with theft by deception, exhibiting a fictitious insurance card and deceptive business practices. The charges stem from the result of an investigation by the Criminal Investigation Division that was initiated on November 2nd, 2023.
On November 2nd, 2023, a Whitehouse Station woman purchased a car from Glicklich which immediately suffered numerous mechanical issues after being advised the vehicle had no mechanical issues. During the course of the investigation, it was revealed that Glicklich was acting as an unregistered dealer and supplying buyers with fraudulent temporary registrations.

A subsequent and non-related motor vehicle stop in which a Monmouth Junction man was test driving a vehicle being sold by Glicklich, revealed that Glicklich was possessing a fraudulent insurance card and a fictitious license plate.

Glicklich was served with a summons and provided with a future court appearance. If you have purchased a vehicle from Glicklich via Craig’s List or Facebook, we are asking that you contact Detective Sergeant Benjamin Griffin at (908)725-6700 Ext. 18.

On March 25th, 2024 at 7:32 p.m., Raritan officers were dispatched to a business on First Ave for a welfare check. A reporting party advised that a male was asleep in a BMW and there was liquor bottle on the ground next to the car. As a result of the welfare check, Lloyd Reinhold, 51 of Philadelphia, was charged with driving while intoxicated, reckless driving and refusal to submit a breath test. Reinhold was later released to a responsible party and court appearance is pending.

Note: All charges are merely accusations and the defendants are presumed innocent until the conclusion of the judicial process.
