The police captain of New Jersey's largest city has been charged with computer theft and conspiracy, a spokesman for the police department says.
Newark Police Captain Anthony Buono was suspended without pay pending the outcome of the investigation and trial, according to police spokesman Ronald Glover.
"We will handle this matter both expediently and appropriately upon completion of the trial," Glover said in a statement. "The Newark Police Department has no tolerance for these types of allegations, and although the captain is innocent until proven guilty, we take these matters seriously and have a duty to relieve the captain of his job without pay pending a resolution."
Details of the alleged theft weren't clear.
Messages were left with Buono and the Newark police union. Attorney information wasn't immediately clear.
