A New Jersey man allegedly broke into a storage unit in East Brunswick, N.J., and stole more than 1,000 medical records, reports nj.com.
Fernando Rios, 33, reportedly later sold the stolen records. He was charged Tuesday with identity theft, trafficking in personally identifying information and burglary, but it was not specified when the break-in occurred.
Three physicians from East Brunswick and Somerset, both in New Jersey, stored their patients' medical records in the storage unit, according to a news release obtained by nj.com.
