$30K Worth of Merchandise Stolen from 99Perfume.com Warehouse

EPI Enterprises, LLC. on Madison Avenue in Manalapan Township was burglarized and approximately $30,000 worth of merchandise was stolen, the Manalapan Police Department has reported.

Ptl. Jason Vigneault first responded to the business, which is the corporate headquarters for 99Perfume.com, a retail website selling perfume and cologne, on Saturday, Jan. 19 for an alarm being set off.

The exterior of the building was checked and deemed to be secure. While the interior was being investigated, police determined that the building had been entered by an intruder through a hole in a cinder block wall which led to an exterior utility room.

Police responded to the business shortly before 9:15 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 20 to the reported burglary when it was determined that $30,000 worth of merchandise was taken.

A stolen car from the business parking lot was recovered by Ptl. Philip Accatatta and is being processed for forensic evidence, Fountain said.
