Upper Saddle River NJ, during the past 36 hours, the Upper Saddle River Police Department has investigated three car burglaries and one stolen motor vehicle. We again would like to reiterate the importance of locking your cars and removing the key fobs.
Most importantly, a significant change in pattern occurred with the stolen vehicle incident. The crime was committed during the AFTERNOON HOURS. This is a major shift from previous incidents that all occurred during the overnight or early morning time frames. The perpetrators brazenly walked across a neighbor’s lawn, and drove off with the victim’s motor vehicle in broad daylight! Please be alert. Please be observant. Please report any suspicious activity to the Upper Saddle River Police Department. Do not confront these individuals! At the end of the day, it is just a car and not worth the risk of your personal safety.
