A Brick Township man has been charged with burglarizing three township businesses, police announced Tuesday.
Todd M. Lansing, 46, of Brick, was initially arrested July 2 and charged with two counts of attempted burglary and one count of burglary to three commercial businesses located within Brick Township. He was also charged with three counts of criminal mischief, two counts of possession of burglary tools and one count of theft.
Lansing was processed and lodged into Ocean County Jail, though he was no longer listed as an inmate at the jail at the time the department announced the arrest.

The charges stemmed from what police described in a statement as a multi-jurisdictional investigation that began in March following a rash of commercial burglaries that occurred throughout Ocean and Monmouth Counties. The Brick Township Police Street Crimes Unit, Point Pleasant Borough Police Department and Brielle Police Department worked together to conduct the investigation, said Chief David Forrester, who extended his thanks to the neighboring departments.
The individual businesses that were targeted were not named publicly.
