Between Nov. 5 and 9, 2015, state troopers from the Kingwood barracks responded to burglaries in Milford, Alexandria Township and Kingwood Township.
During the investigation, detectives were able to obtain video surveillance of Jeremy Selleck, 30, allegedly driving a black Mitsubishi Eclipse from one of the burglaries, State Police reported in December.
Detectives sent a bulletin of the surveillance stills to surrounding police departments in an attempt to help identify the suspect. As a result, a detective with the Pohatcong Township Police Department was reportedly able to identify Selleck, State Police said.
Selleck was later charged with three counts of burglary, two counts of criminal attempted burglary, three counts of theft and three counts of criminal mischief, and State Police detectives were subsequently able to recover nearly $15,000 worth of stolen property from pawn shops.
Following his arrest, Clinton Township Police charged Selleck with burglary and theft for an incident on Sept. 25, 2015.
A grand jury in Hunterdon County returned the following indictments on Thursday.
