2 Attempted Burglaries Reported At Ramsey Housing Development: Police

RAMSEY, N.J. - There have been two attempted burglaries in the past week at a housing development off of Chestnut Ridge Road, police said.

First floor windows were pried open in each instance and both times burglar alarms sounded, deterring entry into the homes, police said.

Police encourage residents to talk to each other about these attempted burglaries and discuss ways to secure their homes and neighborhoods.

Police recommend residents leave lights on to make it appear someone is home, remove safes from master bedrooms and closets, bring mail and newspapers inside the day they are delivered, and lock their vehicles at night.

Police ask that any suspicious activity be reported immediately by calling 911 or the police desk at 201-327-5300.
