Two Vineland police officers who took an oath to uphold the law were arrested Friday and charged with breaking it — specifically, stealing money from their police union where they both held leadership positions.

Patrolmen Steven R. Buglio, 36, of Laurel Street in Vineland and William C. Newman, 30, of Chestnut Street in Elmer turned themselves in Friday afternoon at the Sixth Street police headquarters where they worked.

Their arrests stem from an ongoing investigation into theft allegations related to reported financial irregularities at the Police Benevolent Association Local 266, a union that represents both Vineland and Buena police officers.
