Glen Rock NJ, on Monday January 10th at 4:13 PM , a Glen Rock resident on the 300 block of Dunham Place reported observing an individual, believed to be female, attempting to enter a vehicle in their neighbor’s driveway. The complainant was able to provide a description of the vehicle as a white Mercedes SUV.  Responding officers found that no vehicles in the area had been entered, and the subject vehicle fled prior to their arrival. A short time later, Ridgewood Police officers located a vehicle fitting the description, however the vehicle fled when they attempted to stop it.  New Jersey’s pursuit restrictions did not allow for them to further attempt to stop the vehicle.
