Burglars Posing As JCP&L Workers Target Montville Home: Police

MONTVILLE, NJ— Men posing as JCP&L workers burglarized a Montville home yesterday, police said in an alert.

A man posing as a utilities worker went to a Pine Brook Road home on Thursday, telling the homeowner a tree knocked out power to the area and he needed to check the breakers. Once the homeowner and the man went upstairs, the homeowner heard noises downstairs, and found a second man in the home.

Police believe the second man committed a theft, but did not say what had been taken.

Both men were described as "Hispanic males wearing yellow reflective vests," police said. One was tall and one was short, and the pair left in a small silver SUV.
