Several Home Burglary Attempts Reported By Livingston Residents Last Week

LIVINGSTON, NJ — The Livingston police were called on several occasions last week by residents who reported intruders on their property.

Last Tuesday, Aug. 30, at 3:38 p.m., someone called police to report two people in the rear yard of their Canterbury Road residence. The person reported to police that the intruders had tried to get into a Range Rover there, but it was locked. The intruders eventually realized the person inside the home saw them, so they ran into a Jeep that was waiting, police said.

Soon after, at 4:15, Livingston police responded to a Rosewood Court residence on a report of an attempted burglary to the home. Upon the officers' arrival, the homeowner said they heard a back door open, and then they saw an intruder.

The intruder ran away and got into a waiting Jeep. The homeowner later realized that someone had entered his Audi and taken a wallet and phone.

Police said that the same "getaway" vehicle, the Jeep, was used in both crimes that afternoon, and was stolen. The Livingston Detective Bureau is investigating.

This past Sunday, at 8:50 p.m., Livingston police responded to a Falcon Road residence. The homeowner told police that she had heard loud banging on her rear door. She came downstairs and found the door open. An intruder was there, she said.

The person then took off, the woman told police.

The Livingston Detective Bureau is investigating.
