Gregory Q. Green, of Edison, was charged in the offenses on Oct. 12, according to Somerset County Prosecutor John P. McDonald.

On April 28, 2021, at 9:07 a.m., Branchburg Township police responded to a business on Columbia Road for a burglary. The business owner reported that someone entered the building, ransacked the offices, and removed an undisclosed amount of cash from a desk drawer.

The prosecutor released details of six other burglaries in 2021 and January 2022.

On March 14, Green was arrested at his residence without incident by members of the South Plainfield Police Department and Edison Police Department on burglary, theft, and criminal mischief charges within those jurisdictions. 

He was being held in the Middlesex County Adult Corrections Center and is awaiting a detention hearing in Somerset County.

A joint investigation with the Edison Police Department, South Plainfield Police Department, the Branchburg Township Police Department, and the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office Burglary Unit, resulted in Green being identified as the individual involved in the burglaries and thefts that occurred in Branchburg Township, according to McDonald.

Anyone with information relating to these incidents is urged to contact the Branchburg Township Police Department at (908) 526-3830 or via the STOPit app. Information can also be provided through the Somerset County Crime Stoppers’ Tip Line at 1-888-577-TIPS (8477).
