The 60-year-old Cedar Street victim told police that his wallet was stolen Nov. 8 and his credit card was used at various area businesses.

Edward Moulier, 33 and Emtume Morris, 29, were being held on $35,000 bail each in the Bergen County Jail.

They are charged with burglary, theft, fraudulent use of a credit card and obtaining drugs by fraud.

Morris used to work with the victim and kept him occupied at the front door while Moulier slipped in through the back and lifted the wallet, Sgt. Brian Metzler told CLIFFVIEW PILOT.

Surveillance video from one of the businesses where the credit card was used helped identify the suspects, he said.
