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.
Most crimes are prevented or criminals are caught when the public assists the Police by reporting suspicious persons and activity. Advise your neighbors as well to secure their homes and to report suspicious activity. The eyes and ears of the community are of great assistance in preventing and solving crimes.
Please report any suspicious activity immediately when it is observed.
Any suspicious activity can be reported to the police desk 201-327-5300 or by calling 9-1-1. Be prepared to describe the suspicious activity you’re reporting.
The following tips may reduce your chances of becoming a victim;
Leave interior and exterior lights on to make your home appear occupied.
Leave a television or radio on inside your home.
Please remove jewelry and valuables from the bedrooms.
Remove safes from the master bedroom and their closets.
Lock ALL doors and windows. We find many unlocked doors.
Lock any unoccupied vehicles and remove the key fobs from them.
Remove mail and newspapers from your driveway the day they are delivered.
Secure any ladders on your property.
Remove any valuables from your vehicles.
This is only a small list of ideas to help deter an incident from happening. For additional information or assistance please call Saddle River Police headquarters anytime at 201-327-5300.

I’d guess the proximity to rt 17 south makes it easy to escape back to Newark
Were there any descriptions derived from the video? Height? Weight? Other attributes? Perhaps we can help identify the perps?
Good luck with that. The post says they were actors so they could have totally been robbing these places in character only to blend back into society completely unrecognizable.
That’s why my wife and I got our concealed carry permits, and yes, we train twice a week. With all the shit that’s going on in this world be prepared.
unfortunately in NJ they would find a way to charge you with reckless endangerment unless you within the confines of your residence. All this BS about ‘prohibited sensitive areas” makes the NJ CCW worthless for us honest citizens.
