The Trenton legislative offices of state Assembly members Bonnie Watson Coleman and Reed Gusciora were ransacked over the weekend and the burglars took more than 40 donated cell phones destined for U.S. soldiers serving overseas to call home, police and office workers said.
When Gusciora's staff arrived for work yesterday morning, they found that the 226 W. State St. office for the 15th District representatives had been ransacked with file abinets ripped open and turned inside out.
Police are currently investigating because the alarm didn't go off. Assemblywoman Watson Coleman offered this take:
"It's all a mystery right now," she said. "I don't know what they expected to get out of a state office. They haven't heard that we're broke?"
I guess the burglars didn't get the message. It's a shame because the office can be cleaned up, but the soldiers are the ones who won't be able to make phone calls home because of someone's greed. This would have been the office's 2nd shipment of cell phones. If you have extra cell phones, you cold probably contact their Legislative office or go directly to www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com
