A months-long investigation into a series of armed robberies targeting businesses in Edgewater has resulted in the arrests and indictments of four New York residents accused of participating in the crimes.
\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to information sent by the Bergen County Prosecutor\u2019s Office, the investigation led to the arrests of 24-year-old John E. Cesse Rosario of the Bronx, 26-year-old Fraylan M. De La Rosa Perez of Brooklyn, 23-year-old Brayan Perez Abreu of the Bronx, and 24-year-old Esther Rosado of the Bronx.
\u00a0<\/p>\n

Authorities said the investigation was conducted by the Bergen County Prosecutor\u2019s Office Special Investigations Squad in partnership with the Edgewater Police Department.
\u00a0<\/p>\n

The investigation began after police responded to an armed robbery at a spa on River Road in Edgewater during the early morning hours of September 25, 2025. Investigators said a masked gunman robbed a customer at gunpoint while inside the business, stealing an Apple iPhone and Apple Watch before fleeing.
\u00a0<\/p>\n

Detectives determined that multiple suspects were involved in the robbery and identified a white Toyota Camry believed to have been used during the crime.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As investigators gathered additional evidence, they linked the vehicle to Rosario.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Less than two weeks later, on October 5, 2025, police responded to a second armed robbery at another spa on River Road.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to investigators, the robbery followed a similar pattern, with victims being held at gunpoint and robbed of cellular phones and other personal belongings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Detectives later connected a silver Volkswagen Jetta used during that incident to Rosario as well.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The investigation continued over several months, leading to Rosario being charged in connection with the first robbery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He was arrested in the Bronx on October 10, 2025, with assistance from the Federal Bureau of Investigation Safe Streets Task Force and the New York City Police Department.
\u00a0<\/p>\n

As the investigation expanded, detectives identified De La Rosa Perez and Perez Abreu as additional suspects allegedly involved in the September robbery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Both men were arrested in separate operations in New York with assistance from federal and New York City law enforcement agencies before being extradited to Bergen County.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Authorities said Rosario and De La Rosa Perez were later charged in connection with the second Edgewater robbery after investigators developed additional evidence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Detectives also identified Rosado as an alleged participant accused of helping plan the October robbery.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to prosecutors, initial efforts to locate Rosado were unsuccessful as the investigation continued.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The case remains under the direction of the Bergen County Prosecutor\u2019s Office and the Edgewater Police Department.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Edgewater By: Richard L.
