Responding to an article published in Roselle Park News on October 9, 2010, a 22-year old Roselle Park resident contacted Detective Richard Cocca to notify him that he had found Australia, a dog that was initially reported stolen by its owner.
The 22-year old male stated that the dog was out on the street when he picked him up. He is not being considered a suspect, just a good Samaritan who found the dog. The dog was recovered in good health.
