A Park Ave. resident got a surprise when she went back to a laundry room to get what she was expecting to be her nicely dried and warm clothes on Oct. 25 — they were all gone.
The resident told Nutley police she’d put about a week’s worth of undergarments and work clothes in the dryer earlier.
The stolen clothes were valued at around $300, according to police.
Meanwhile, the Nutley Police Department released the following reports of incidents that took place between Oct. 25 and Oct. 30.

• At a traffic-safety checkpoint on Rt. 21 South, police said they pulled over Corey Hamlet, 39, of Belleville, who had an outstanding Newark warrant out for his arrest. Hamlet posted bail, was additionally summonsed for driving without a driver’s license and expired inspection sticker and was released, pending court, the NPD said.
• A Hillsdale Ave. dog owner was summonsed for having two dogs at-large and two unlicensed dogs after his canines allegedly got loose. Police said another dog owner was walking a dog when he encountered the two loose pooches, who were both vaccinated for rabies.
