UPDATE: Moorestown Police Investigating Burglary and Attempted Burglary Incidents

Moorestown Police are investigating a burglary and an attempted burglary that took place in the township during the Thanksgiving weekend.

In the first incident, a burglar alarm activation apparently scared away an attempted burglar on the 700 block of Worthington Drive on Nov. 27 at 7:40 p.m.

Police arrived at the home to find that a window had been broken. The resident returned home shortly thereafter and found that nothing had been stolen. Earlier, police reported that jewelry had been stolen, but corrected that statement early Sunday evening.

Officers were assisted in this incident by a K-9 from the Westampton Police Department.

The following day at 3 p.m., Moorestown Police responded to the 100 block of Fellswood Drive and met with a resident who hadn’t been home since 1 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day.

The resident reported that someone broke into their home by breaking a window, and stole watches of as yet undetermined value.

The Police Department encourages residents to promptly call us at 856-234-8300 if they see suspicious activity. Call 911 for crimes in progress.
