Three North Jersey men — including a career burglar with ties to the James Bond Gang — were arrested early Friday after an 11-month investigation into more than 40 burglaries committed in at least five states, authorities said.
Daniel “Tokyo” Gatson, 41, of North Bergen; Curtis Dent, 34, of Roselle; and Mark Gonzalez, 31, of East Orange were charged with multiple counts of conspiracy and transportation of stolen goods in interstate commerce related to the residential burglaries, which stretched from Georgia to Long Island in the past year, authorities said.
Investigators believe the defendants were responsible for “in excess of a $1 million worth of stolen proceeds, cash and jewelry,” said Steven Cucciniello, chief of detectives for the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office.
The Prosecutor’s Office launched the investigation in December 2012, bringing in police departments in Bergen County, Georgia, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia as well as the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the FBI.
