WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. — A third suspect has been arrested in connection with a January home invasion and attempted car theft in Wall Township, police announced Tuesday.
Authorities say three masked suspects broke into a home on Baileys Corner Road on January 20, 2025, by entering through a rear window. The intruders allegedly stole car keys from inside the residence but failed to steal the vehicle before fleeing west on Allaire Road toward State Highway 34.
Key Points
- Three suspects, including a 17-year-old, are charged in a January home invasion in Wall Township.
- The suspects allegedly broke in through a rear window and attempted to steal a vehicle.
- Arrests followed an investigation by Wall Township Detective Zach Honecker.
Two adult suspects were previously arrested in March
Following a months-long investigation led by Detective Zach Honecker, police arrested Newark residents Yasir Twitty, 21, and Nymir Marks, 19, in March. The third suspect, a 17-year-old male from Woodbridge, was taken into custody on April 25.
All three face the same charges, including second-degree conspiracy to commit residential burglary, two counts of second-degree criminal attempt to commit theft, third-degree conspiracy to commit theft, and third-degree attempted residential burglary.
No injuries were reported during the incident, and the homeowner was able to call police immediately after the suspects fled the scene.
All suspects held in separate facilities across New Jersey
Twitty is currently held at Middlesex County Jail, while Marks is detained at Monmouth County Correctional Institution. The 17-year-old is being housed at the Middlesex County Youth Detention Center.
Authorities have not disclosed how the suspects were identified or whether surveillance footage played a role in their arrests.
Investigation highlights collaboration and swift homeowner response
Wall Township Police emphasized the role of immediate reporting by the homeowner in enabling the investigation, which ultimately led to the identification and charging of all three suspects.
Despite the charges, police reiterated that all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
A late-night break-in and botched car theft led to three arrests after a months-long manhunt by Wall Township detectives.
