Dear E-Notice Residents,

I wanted to let you know that we experienced at least 6 car burglaries overnight with one car stolen. Surrounding towns have had a similar experience.

Ridgewood Police reported ,on March 16, 2015 the Ridgewood Police Department responded to six reports of car entries on Heights Road, Crest Road and Sunset Avenue. The vehicles were unlocked and unknown items were taken.

A 2009 Escalade was also reported stolen from a Sunset Avenue home. These matters are all under investigation.

The Ridgewood Police Department would like to remind residents that they should lock all car doors and never leave the keys in the vehicle. Items that may be expensive and vulnerable to theft should not be left in the vehicle. Please report any suspicious persons immediately.

Please take note of the following precautions with your vehicles:

Please do not leave your cars unlocked in your driveway.
Please do not leave any valuables in your car; if you have valuables in your car make sure they are not visible.
Please do not leave your car keys in your car, make sure they are in a safe place.

The Ridgewood Police Department is actively working on this. If you see something suspicious, please contact the Police Department. We will apprise you of any progress on this matter when available.

Be safe,

Roberta Sonenfeld
