Glen Rock NJ, Glen Rock police discuss how diversion burglaries work and whats residents should watch out for.

Last year the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office issued a warning to residents following a rise in diversion burglaries.

The prosecutor’s office said residents should be careful who they allow on their property, with thieves more frequently posing as utility workers. Officials said more than a dozen diversion burglaries have been reported in the county in the past few weeks.

In most of the scenarios, a thief impersonating a utility worker distracts the homeowners while an accomplice enters the home to take what he can.

This WMBC-TV news video spells out the details .
