On Monday morning, Oct. 26, county officials and police arrived at Cuban Pete's Restaurant and Tapas and put padlocks on its gates. 

The area encompassing Glenridge Avenue, Claremont Avenue, Forest Street, Greenwood Place, North Willow Street and Walnut Street was closed off, and residents were urged to stay clear of the area. The driveway to the post office on Glenridge Avenue was also closed off.  

The restaurant was cited for violating state executive orders against indoor dining on three occasions on Aug. 7, Aug. 23 and Oct. 4. In August, prior to the state allowing indoor dining, police and Montclair Health Department officials were called to the restaurant for reports of patrons dining inside the restaurant.
