17-Year-Old Charged In January Home Invasion: Holmdel Police

HOLMDEL, NJ — A 17-year-old from Newark was recently charged in connection to a January home invasion on Round Hill Road, Holmdel Police said.

The teen was charged with burglary and conspiracy, police said. Holmdel Police did not release further information about the teen's identity.

The incident occurred on Jan. 13 at 5:50 a.m. when police said two people attempted to open several high-end vehicles in the driveway of a home on Round Hill.

After finding the cars locked, police said the two then entered the home through an unlocked back door.
