2 Bloomfield Burglaries Under Investigation, Police Say

BLOOMFIELD, NJ — A pair of burglaries were recently reported in Bloomfield, including incidents on Rosewood Terrace and First Avenue, authorities said.

The Bloomfield Police Department released the following statements about each incident on Thursday:

Oct. 3 – “Officers responded to Rosewood Terrace on report of a residential burglary. The residents returned home, and noticed their bedrooms had been rummaged through and that the back door was pried open. The items that are missing are numerous pieces of jewelry approximately worth $10,000. This incident is under investigation.”

Oct. 6 – “Officers responded to 12 First Avenue (K&Y convenience store) on report of a glass break alarm. The employees were sitting in the store with a curtain over the front door when they heard a very loud bang from a brick that was thrown at the glass from the outside. Immediately after the brick was thrown into the glass, which did not shatter the door, a suspect dressed in a black-hooded sweatshirt, black pants and a ski mask over his face pushed the glass out of the door frame into the store in an attempt to gain entry into the store.
