Two Burglaries Reported in Caldwell

Two Caldwell homeowners reported burglaries on Wednesday, according to Caldwell Police Det. Sgt. Anthony Marta.

Residents of 4 Hillside Ave. and 70 Smull Ave. told police they came home early Wednesday afternoon to find their front doors left open and their bedrooms ransacked.

Marta said the burglar or burglars entered both homes through rear, first floor windows which were left unlocked by the homeowners. In both homes, Marta said, pillowcases were removed from bedroom pillows and used to carry away the stolen items.

The homeowners reported jewelry and small amounts of money missing, Marta said. He said the exact value of the jewelry is not yet known.

The burglaries took place between 9 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. while no one was home at either residence.

Marta said the police are processing evidence and both cases remain under investigation.

“I am putting out an advisory to all residents to make sure your windows and doors are locked when not home,” Marta said.
