Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood Police is currently investigating two (2) separate, but possibly linked, car theft attempts that occurred within two (2) blocks of one another early Saturday morning, 04/07. An attempt to steal a newer model Jeep Grand Cherokee from the driveway of a single family home located in the 400 block of Hopper Avenue, Ridgewood, was thwarted at approximately 4:40 AM when a Ridgewood Police marked patrol vehicle entered the short, dead end street as the would be thief was backing the car out of the driveway. Police believe the perpetrator abandoned the Jeep and fled on foot when he/she saw the patrol car heading down the street. A search of the immediate neighborhood and surrounding area by patrol officers, including a K9 unit from the Bergen County Sheriff’s Department, proved fruitless. The other reported car theft took place at the Van Dyk Manor Nursing Home on nearby South Van Dien Avenue, Ridgewood. An employee’s vehicle was entered, but was apparently unable to be started. Police are reviewing the output of security cameras mounted at and/or close to both incident locations. The Bergen County Sheriff’s Office Bureau of Criminal Identification processed both crime scenes.
