A New Jersey man who admitted burglarizing a string of homes at the Jersey Shore, including that of rocker Jon Bon Jovi, is in line for some bad medicine: He’s likely to get five years in prison.
Nicholas Tracy, 22, of Beachwood, pleaded guilty Tuesday in state Superior Court in Freehold to three counts of theft and burglary in a spree that netted him more than $300,000 worth of jewelry and other property from the homes.
The thefts took place in 2011, on March 14, April 1 and 3, along the Middletown Township road where Bon Jovi lives. Ten days after the last break-in, Middletown police responded to another report of a burglary in the area and found Tracy in a residence committing the crime, Acting Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher Gramiccioni said.
Court papers have alleged that jewelry worth $100,000 was taken from Bon Jovi’s home.
