Burglary, Attempted Burglary In Montclair Reported On Same Day: Police

MONCLAIR, NJ — A burglary and an attempted burglary were reported in Montclair last week on the same day, authorities announced Tuesday.

Both incidents were reported on June 17, according to police, who released the following details:

Greenview Way – A resident reported that he received an alert from his surveillance camera while he was away. Upon viewing the footage, he realized that two people attempted to enter his house through the front door, at approximately 5:35 a.m. The suspects seen on the video are thin males who are young (late teens to early twenties). One suspect was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt (with a white logo on the left breast), green gloves (possibly construction gloves), a face mask, sneakers (neon green marks) and black shorts. The second suspect was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt (with a white t-shirt underneath), black shorts, black leggings, and white sneakers. In the video, the suspect wearing the green gloves, opens the front screen door then attempts to open the main front door, which was locked. It appears that both suspects walk around the house in an attempt to enter it, but were unsuccessful, police said.

Summit Avenue – A resident reported that while away on vacation, unknown suspects broke into their home and stole the keys to two of the four vehicles that were parked in their driveway. The suspects appeared to have gained entry through a first-floor window. A BMW M4 and an Audi Q8 were stolen from the scene.
