A major theft in Bridgeton has resulted in the arrest of a man from the city who has been charged with swiping some pretty expensive pieces from the scene of the alleged crime.

NJ.com reports that a 27-year-old has been brought into custody who, according to Bridgeton police, has been charged with multiple crimes after allegedly stealing two hundred thousand dollars worth of jewelry from a home on Hitchner Avenue at the beginning of the month.

How exactly were the cops able to find the 27-year-old? NJ.com writes that the man was discovered with two others on multiple pieces of surveillance tape. He along with his accomplices were apparently tampering with elements that would disable security systems at the homes they were targeting, but cameras along the way were able to spot them. The 27-year-old has now been identified as Williston C. Jamison III. The identities of the other two with him the night of this particular incident have not yet been released to the public.
