Rafael Sosa, 18, of North Brunswick was being questioned by Teaneck police when Bogota Detective Geoffrey Cole noticed that he looked like a man seen in business and home surveillance video from the area of the break-ins.

Before his investigation was through, Cole had Sosa in custody on charges involving no fewer than six car burglaries.

Sosa was being held on $30,000 cash bail in the Bergen County Jail, charged with burglary and theft.
