Lacey Police Charge Lanoka Harbor Man For Spruce Street Burglaries

Lacey police recently arrested a Lanoka Harbor man in connection with burglaries and thefts from a Spruce Street residence earlier this month, Police Chief David A. Paprota said.

Ryan P. Lee, 29, was arrested on July 24 and charged with two counts of burglary and theft from a home in the 700 block of Spruce Street, the chief said.

Officer Adam Ewart responded to the home at 7:07 p.m. on July 23 on a theft report. The victim told police that on July 20, someone entered his home and stole a lockbox and jewelry valued at $800. Three days later, someone took a 52-inch flat screen television valued at $1,900. There were no signs of forced entry and the victim provided the name of a suspect.

The investigation led to Lee’s arrest for two counts of burglary and theft. His bail was set at $50,000. Lee was lodged in the Ocean County Jail in Toms River in lieu of bail.
