THE RECORD
RIDGEWOOD – Police departments in Glen Rock and Ridgewood are investigating whether a string of nearly 20 separate vehicle break-ins over the past week within the two towns are connected.
Ridgewood police said four vehicles were broken into over the weekend near the Glen Rock border on Ackerman Avenue and Doremus Avenue. Glen Rock police said at least 15 vehicles were entered overnight on Sept. 10 near Richard E. Byrd School on Doremus Avenue.
Ridgewood Police Chief John Ward said the two departments are sharing information and working together to see if the string of burglaries was carried out by the same person.
“In any situation like this we coordinate with one another,” Ward said. “Anytime you have a number of burglaries or entries we obviously look at all possible angles – you don’t automatically say they aren’t connected.”

Generation Z out looking for easy items to steal in order to support their heroin habits….lock your stuff up !
You are a moron plain and simple if you leave your car unlocked with valuables inside.
Are they actual break-ins or just people leaving there cars unlocked, there is a difference.
All vehicles were left unlocked.
#3 can you explain the difference between break in and burglary? And please don’t say one has to break something. I’m dying to know what you think the difference is.
If that is the case then no sympathy.
not really… legally
Breaking and entering is defined as the crime of illegally entering a residence or other enclosed property using any amount of force (even pushing open an unlocked door)
Add burglary to breaking and entering if there is intent to steal
Now if the door was already open I’m not 100% sure on the breaking part – although there may be some legal precedent to “breaking the plane of the threshold” – but if a closed door is opened – even if it’s unlocked – it’s “breaking”
MORE Legal mumbo jumbo…
BREAKING. Parting or dividing by force and violence a solid substance, or piercing, penetrating, or bursting through the same.
2. In cases of burglary and house-breaking, the removal, of any part of the house, or of the fastenings provided to secure it, with violence and a felonious intent, is called a breaking.
3. The breaking is actual, as in the above case; or constructive, as when the burglar or house-breaker gains an entry by fraud, conspiracy or threats. 2 Russ. on Cr. 2; 2 Chit. Cr. Law, 1092; 1 Hale, P. C. 553; Alis. Prin. 282, 291. In England it has been decided that if the sash of a window be partly open, but not sufficiently so to admit a person, the raising of it so as to admit a person is not a breaking of the house. 1 Moody, Cr. Cas. 178. No reasons are assigned. It is difficult to conceive, if this case be law, what further opening will amount to a breaking. But see 1 Moody, Cr. Cas. 327, 377; and Burglary.
Breaking
To use physical force to separate or damage a solid object.
When used in criminal statutes as an element of Burglary or housebreaking, to forcibly remove any part of a house that protects it from unauthorized entry such as locks, latches, windows, or doors, to gain access to the house with the intent to commit a crime; to use force or violence in escaping from a house after a felony has been committed or attempted therein.
The slightest physical force—for example, lifting a latch, releasing a bolt, or opening an unlocked door or window—is enough to constitute breaking.
So to sum it up……There is absolutely NO DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #3 it’s official..you have no clue what your talking about.
As usual!
Must be a mediocre attorney with free time. Another definition of break-in, to enter forcibly.
In NJ burglary is unlawful entry to a structure, vehicle, or vessel, with the intent to commit a crime therein. 2C:18- 1, 2, 3,. Unlawful entry with out intent to commit a crime is criminal trespass, So if a car is unlocked and the actor enters the vehicle to steal or damage property they have committed Burglary and theft, or criminal mischief. The theft stat is 2C:20-3, In NJ the term breaking and entering ended with 2A, some 35 yrs ago.
It’s a
