Two Men Found in Bedminster Home's Bushes

BEDMINSTER, NJ — A Bedminster resident reported finding two men wearing headlights in her bushes in the middle of the night, according to police.

On Nov. 2 at approximately 12:40 a.m. a Stone Run Road resident reported she was woken up by the sound of “rustling” behind her house. She looked out of the bedroom window and saw two males wearing headlights behind her house.

The man stated they were working on the cable box because one of the customers complained their TV was pixelating. The homeowner could not provide any clothing description and advised she did not see a car in the area, according to the Bedminster Police blotter.

The homeowner called her cable TV provider who advised they did not have anyone in the area and they do not have technicians that work at those hours.

The officer checked the exterior of the residence and did not see any attempt at a forced entry.
