The 48 year old, of Berkeley Township, New Jersey, is facing more than 230 charges in connection with burglaries in Brick, Manchester, Howell, and Marlboro, said police this past weekend.
Police said the burglaries happened in December and January, and alleged Orler, dressed all in black, cut through a fence at the CubeSmart facility, then used bolt cutters to gain access to storage units.
Property stolen from the storage units included an ATV, motorcycle, car parts, a car engine, and various personal items. Detectives determined he had been selling the stolen property on Facebook, and that a search warrant was executed at his home, uncovering more stolen goods.
In addition to CubeSmart, places that Orler is accused of stealing from include:
The charges filed so far include burglary, receiving stolen property, theft, criminal mischief and fencing, police said. During the detention hearing Friday, Young said Orler has a lengthy criminal history. While she did not detail past convictions during the detention hearing, court records show multiple guilty pleas in commercial burglaries dating back at least 20 years.
He was on supervised release following a federal sentence for illegal firearms dealings when he was arrested in Manchester in May 2020 in connection with a commercial burglary ring operating in Ocean County. That release was revoked in 2021, according to federal court records.
Young called Orler's actions "a blatant disregard for the law."
"He is a continuous and constant danger to the community," she said.
Snyder agreed, and rejected arguments from the public defender suggesting home monitoring, ordering he remain in jail. His next court appearance is set for June 30 before Superior Court Judge Dina Vicari.
