Glen Rock and Ridgewood have experienced a raise of forced entry break ins between the hours of 10am to 3pm 

HOME BURGLARY Update:Glen Rock  & Ridgewood have experienced increase of forced entry to homes between the hours of 10am -3pm . There are no suspects as of yet

The West side of Glen Rock & West side of Ridgewood have been experiencing an increase in residential burglaries. These break-ins are occurring during the daytime, generally between 10 AM and 3 PM and have been into homes where no one is present, It is possible that the actors are ringing the doorbell and watching the homes prior to entry.

At this time there are no suspects or suspect vehicle information.

Please do everything possible to make your home look occupied when you are out. Keep the radio or TV on, a car in the driveway and lights on timers, as it gets dark early. Consider an alarm and if you have one, make sure it is armed before you go out.

Suspects don’t want to confront anyone. They just want to get in & out quickly.

With the holidays upon us, there is generally more to steal in a home, so try to keep expensive items secured or well hidden. The bedroom is the first place a burglar will look.

We need your help! If you see anything suspicious, out of the ordinary or unusual, call the police immediately. Don’t hesitate or wait. We would rather check out something that turns out to be nothing, then investigate another home that was burglarized.

Thank you for your help and have a healthy and safe holiday season.

Glen Rock cops make arrest in alleged credit-card fraud ring at gas stations

THE RECORD

A Lodi man has been charged with multiple offenses following a four-month Glen Rock police investigation into an alleged credit-card fraud ring that skimmed victims’ information at local gas stations.

Kenny Frias, 42, is charged with money laundering, trafficking in personal information of another and fraudulent use of credit card, the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office said in a news release.

Frias is allegedly part of a ring that supplied gas station attendants with skimming devices to fraudulently obtain credit card information from victims and then used that information to make purchases, mostly of alcohol, at various locations throughout the state. The alcohol then allegedly was sold at the Phebe Night Club and Restaurant in Jersey City, where Frias is a manager.Frias was arrested Wednesday by Glen Rock police in Clifton and remained Friday in the Bergen County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bail without a 10 percent bonding option.

Police do not know how many gas stations, stores or victims were caught up in the alleged scheme, though they estimate the number of victims could be in the hundreds or thousands, Glen Rock police Detective James Calaski said. The investigation is ongoing.

“If suspects are using stolen credit cards in my jurisdiction, they’re usually doing it in other jurisdictions as well,” Calaski said.

Police searched Frias’ residence and place of business Wednesday with a warrant and seized a credit card reading and writer device, fraudulent credit cards, false identification and more than $75,000 in cash.
