Serial Burglar Charged In Morris Co. After Alleged Break-In: Police

MORRIS COUNTY, NJ — A Newark man has been charged with burglary and theft after allegedly breaking into homes in Mendham Township and Morris Township and stealing a 2021 Mercedes SL500 Maybach from one of them, authorities said.

Tysean Ware, 20, was arrested on Jan. 12 while police say he was entering a vehicle outside his Newark residence.

According to Morris County Prosecutor Robert J. Carroll, Ware was charged with conspiracy to commit theft, theft of a motor vehicle, theft of personal property, conspiracy to commit burglary, three counts of burglary and criminal trespass.

According to police, the Morris Township Police Department received a report of a burglary in progress on Jan. 10. Responding officers discovered that Ware had twice entered a Morris Township residence where a minor was present.

Following that, video surveillance showed Ware entering and stealing the resident's 2021 Mercedes SL500 Maybach.

Ware was in Morristown that day for a scheduled visit with his Morris County Recovery Court Probation Officer, and according to Carroll, was driven to and from his probation visit in a stolen Range Rover.

The stolen Range Rover was found in Ridgefield Park, Bergen County, with proceeds from burglaries on Jan. 10, 2023, in Mendham Township and Morris Township.

The next day Ware was confronted by police in Secaucus while he was driving the stolen Mercedes-Maybach, which resulted in Ware ramming a Secaucus patrol vehicle. Following this incident, the stolen Mercedes-Maybach was discovered a short time later in Newark.

Ware has been additionally charged in Secaucus with second-degree eluding and receiving stolen property, Carroll said.

Ware has been taken to the Morris County Correctional Facility pending a pretrial detention hearing.
