Two men are accused of burglaries in Haddon Township, Haddonfield, Cherry Hill and Runnemede.
A suspect, who made the incredibly bad choice to go to a Dunkin' Donuts next to the Haddon Township police station after allegedly burglarizing a nearby home, has now been linked to four more break-ins. Joseph M. Kunz, 35, of the 100 block of East Park Avenue, Lindenwold, and James Richardson, 25, of the 200 block of Beechwood Avenue, Oaklyn, have each been charged with conspiracy to commit theft and burglary. Kunz was arrested 11 days ago for a burglary in the 100 block of Virginia Ave. in Haddon Township after a surveillance video in a Dunkin' Donuts next to the police station allegedly showed him with items that had been stolen. He was additionally charged with criminal mischief for kicking open and damaging the locked front door of the…

Haddon Township police say surveillance video from Dunkin' Donuts helped nab suspect.
Put this one down in the brazen category. Haddon Township police said they arrested a Lindenwold man last week after a surveillance video in a Dunkin' Donuts help identify him as a suspect in a nearby burglary. To make matters worse, the doughnut shop is in a strip mall next to the police station. "Police were aided in the investigation by surveillance video obtained from the Dunkin' Donuts next to the police department where the suspect went following the burglary," according to a police statement. "The surveillance video showed Joseph M. Kunz in possession of items later determined to have been taken from the victim’s home." Kunz, 35, of the 100 block of East Park Avenue, Lindenwold, was charged with burglary, theft and criminal mischief…

They're better dipped in coffee than in the river, it turns out.
This arrest was pretty sweet. And that's pretty much the only pun or knowingly bad joke we haven't made already about a report from Collingswood Patch that police may have finally caught an infamous doughnut dumper. (Seriously ... our original article has everything from "that's crumby" to police finding their suspect's account "full of holes.") Locals had been trying to figure out for some time who was dropping off delicious debris at Newton Lake. So local cops when on a two-day stakeout to see where the doughnuts were coming from. (Yes. We know. Doughnuts and cops. We already beat you to that one in the original piece, too). Ultimately, police say, they found an Oaklyn resident (and Dunkin' Donuts employee) dropping off the 50-pound …

National Doughnut Day's traditions date back to the front lines of World War I.
Today is National Doughnut Day, and area Dunkin’ Donuts are getting in on the action by offering free doughnuts. But it turns out there’s more to today than a tempting treat. This year marks the 73rd National Doughnut Day, an event created by the Salvation Army. It may seem like an unlikely pairing, but the Salvation Army is credited with introducing the sweet treat to Americans. During World War I, Salvation Army “lassies,” who worked on the front lines getting essential personal items to soldiers, distributed doughnuts to troops in Europe. Concerned with getting front-line soldiers food quickly, two lassies even devised a way to fry the doughnuts in helmets. (Click here for the doughnut lassies' original recipe.) Previously a European …
