A serial burglar who allegedly knocked off 15 burglaries in two New Jersey communities over the span of a week has been apprehended, authorities said Tuesday.
Christopher Green was arrested last week, the result of a multi-agency effort. He had been wanted in more than 15 burglaries in Lakewood and Toms River between March 30 and April 6, police say.
He allegedly had a handgun in at least one case.
Search warrants executed on residences and motor vehicles associated with Green yielded four firearms, including an AR15 and a sub gun, police said. They also recovered proceeds from some of the burglaries.
Green now faces a total of 17 criminal charges, including robbery, armed burglary, conspiracy and multiple weapons-related offenses. Information on a possible attorney for him wasn't immediately available.
