Saddle River NJ, Saddle River Police encourage residents to purchase alarm systems and security cameras.
According to Saddle River Police, Saddle River night shift Patrols were dispatched to two burglaries in the Burning Hollow neighborhood just after dark. At both scenes responding units discovered a rear patio glass door had been shattered in an attempt to gain entry to the residence. At one residence, entry was denied when the alarm system triggered a glass break sensor. Due to the ringing alarm the actor(s) fled the scene prior to Patrols arrival. Surveillance cameras captured video of at least three and four actors dressed in dark clothes while wearing masks and gloves. Neither home was occupied during these events.
We strongly encourage the use of Alarms systems. If you have an alarm system, make sure you set it, even if you’re just running out for a few minutes. Security cameras are a great tool. Check your system now to make sure its functioning properly before an incident may happen. It’s getting dark earlier and that can provide thieves the cover of darkness they like to operate. Adjust your light timers accordingly to illuminate your residence to deter an intruder.
