Cadillac CTS Stolen in Holmdel, Man Charged

Holmdel, NJ - We’ve reported before on a Neptune man suspected of robbing dozens of homes throughout wealthy areas of Monmouth County, but new charges allege that he stole a 2014 Cadillac CTS from a home in Holmdel Township as well.

Tommy Earls was charged Thursday, Dec. 24 with breaking into a home on Takolusa Drive in Holmdel on July 4th, 2014, police said.

The owners were out of town for the holiday, and Earls damaged the front door and side garage doors to get into the home. He drove off in a 2014 Cadillac CTS, the Monmouth County prosecutor said. He also stole jewelry, electronics, an iPod Touch and guitars valued at $36,000 from the home.

Later that year, Earls broke into a home on Huntley Road on Sept. 17, 2014, police allege. He took a safe and an iMac computer, together valued at more than $3,200.

Earls, 54, was arrested by Little Silver police after a Dec. 5 home break-in there. He kept a storage locker in Neptune, which, after police searched it, was found to contain more than $1 million worth of stolen goods inside: A 40-year-old bottle of Belvenie single malt Scotch valued at $5,000, a 24-karat gold lighter autographed by Bob Hope, Rolex watches, vintage coin collections, Tiffany jewelry, computers, iPads, iPods and cell phones.
