A man that police said allegedly robbed the home of Jon Bon Jovi, in the Navesink section of , was arrested on new charges this week.

Toms River Police Chief Michael Mastronardy said , 22, of Beachwood, was arrested this week after an investigation into multiple burglaries in Silverton and North Dover in Ocean County.

Around 8:30 p.m. Sunday, Toms River police responded to a suspicious vehicle parked on Silverton Road, and when the vehicle left the residential road, Detective Brian Lomer followed.

"Shortly thereafter, Sergeant Ralph Stocco found a home whose owners were on vacation had been burglarized," said Mastronardy in an email.

The home's rear window was smashed with a rock and jewelry was removed from the bedroom. Officers investigating found the driver of the suspicious vehilce was Tracy, Mastronardy said. Tracy was arrested in a parking lot in a shopping center in South Toms River.

Detectives Brian Lomer and Louis Santora executed a search warrant at Tracy’s home on Clubhouse Lane in Beachwood, and searched his vehicle.

Mastronardy said police recovered alleged proceeds from the Silverton Road burglary, but he said additional stolen goods from other burglaries were also recovered.

Police believe the stolen goods also came from a March 6 burglary of a North Bay Avenue home, and Dugan Lane burglary on Feb. 17.   

In the March 6 incident, Mastronardy said a boat anchor on the property was used to smash through a glass door. The ransacked North Bay home had sports memorabilia and other valuables stolen.

The Dugan Lane burglary, jewelry was taken in an incident between 5 and 10 p.m. that day.

Detective Chris Fluck has charged Tracy with receiving stolen property from the Dugan Lane burglary and bail was set at $20,000. He is being held on $25,000 bail from the charge of burglary at the Silverton Road home. 

Toms River Captain Bruce Burgess and Detective Loring Dunton are coordinating the continuing investigation with other agencies with similar burglaries Lacey Township, Ocean Township, Berkeley Township, Beachwood, Brick Township, Middletown, and the Ocean County Sheriff’s Department. 

The Asbury Park Press reported previously that Tracy was also arrested for breaking into Bon Jovi's Middletown home as well a several others in the vicinity. 

Tracy was indicted late February for a Toms River burglary and resisting arrest charges, accused of breaking into a Whitty Road home Oct. 26, then running from a Toms River police officer who tried to apprehend him.

He allegedly rode a bicycle from the Whitty Road home to the Ocean County Mall parking lot, where he led police on a chase and was apprehended, police said. He was initially held on $15,000 bail but posted the day of his arrest.
