A security video system filmed the man alone in the house, Martin previously said. He immediately left the house through a back patio door.

Police immediately began an investigation and released a photo of the burglar Monday night.

Police found Coughlin at his Pompton Lakes home Tuesday morning. They arrested him, he was charged and items taken from the home were recovered, Martin said.

Wayne Police Detectives Dave Collins, Dennis Ferray and James Faber, along with Detective Sgts. Robert Simpson and Jay Celentano "worked diligently to bring his suspect into custody," Martin said.

Coughlin's bail was set at $50,000, police said.
