2 Now Arrested in South Brunswick Home Break-Ins

South Brunswick, NJ - South Brunswick police announced Thursday they have now made a second arrest in the case of township homes being entered overnight.

The man and woman charged with entering four homes and rifling through personal belongings are both from North Brunswick and have been identified as Christopher Smith, 25, and Inez Young, 23.

Detectives arrested Young last week. Smith, however, was just arrested Wednesday evening in New Brunswick, Chief Raymond Hayduck said.

They are both charged in connection to four overnight burglaries in South Brunswick during the month of June, police said. Read more about each break-in here.
