MIDLAND PARK — The owner of a gym was charged with theft and burglary after a customer captured him on video going through his vehicle.

AJ Tenhoeve told ABC 7 Eyewitness News that he suspected someone was breaking into his vehicle when his keys were not as he left them and $50 in cash went missing.

After recording the inside of the vehicle using his GoPro camera, the person entering the van was identified as Gregory Baiunco, the owner of the Hit Zone on Central Avenue.

Police told News 12 New Jersey other customers reported Baiunco went through their vehicles while they were inside working out. In one video he appears to take $700 in cash from a bag inside a parked vehicle.

Another customer said he would use the time when a class was running up a hill as part of their workout near the gym to break into vehicles.
