They were arrested in Wayne, Passaic County, on Monday. Officials said additional charges are pending against Kalouis and Lopez in other New Jersey counties.
Dating as far back as April 24, the duo are linked to concession stand burglaries across multiple counties, including Morris, Bergen, Essex, Middlesex, and Passaic. Their largest alleged theft landed them $700 in cash, police said, and among the concession stands targeted were were locations at Little League field, schools, and community baseball parks.

The burglaries often caused "significant damage" to the doors or structures when they broke into the stands, police said.
