Unknown Man Entered Holmdel Residence Thanksgiving Morning: Cops

HOLMDEL, NJ - The Holmdel Township Police Department is currently investigating a report of an unknown male who allegedly entered a residence near Grandview Drive early Thursday morning. The homeowner had “several” high-end vehicles parked in their driveway, leading authorities to believe that the suspect entered the home to look for the keys.

In a statement posted to social media, the police department notified residents that on Thursday, Nov. 26 at approximately 6:50 a.m., officers from the department were alerted to a report of an unknown male entering a residence on Silver Beech Court.

The subject is described as approximately 6 feet tall, thin and wearing a dark-colored hoodie.

“The resident did not get a good look at the subject and was unable to provide any further description,” the department wrote.

The male reportedly exited the residence and fled in a charcoal gray SUV, described as “possibly a Range Rover Sport,” which was waiting in the driveway.

A subsequent investigation revealed that the subject entered the home at about 6:30 a.m. through an unlocked side door and escaped after being confronted by the homeowner.

Residents in the area are asked to check their camera systems for any footage that may assist in the investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact Det. Eric Hernando at (732) 946-4400 ext. 1744 or ehernando@holmdelpolice.org

“Residents are urged to lock their vehicles and homes and to avoid leaving keys/key fobs or other valuables inside their vehicles,” the police department wrote.
