Both face four counts of burglary, four counts of conspiracy to commit burglary, and three counts of theft.

Both Janulis and Schmidt were issued their complaint warrants and were subsequently transported to the Hudson County Jail.
The charges stem from an investigation conducted by the Secaucus Police Department in relation to numerous reported burglaries and thefts that occurred at 2 Day Transportation located at 901 Castle Road. According to police, the thefts occurred on Dec. 19, 24, and 25 of 2021, and Jan. 10 of this year.
