SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ — South Brunswick police announced on Thursday, April 5 that they want to know about any unusual activity that occurs in the Township on Saturday evenings.

Detectives have identified five burglaries to homes over the past month in South Brunswick, and they all appear connected. The burglaries have taken place on Rocky Hill Road, Marc Drive, Curtis Court, Larkspur Drive and Pointer Place. The burglaries have all taken place during the evening hours on Saturdays. In each case, the suspects kick in a front door or pry open a rear window.

In one case, a suspect unscrewed motion lighting behind the home, and then broke in. In all the incidents, once inside, the burglars ransack the homes looking for cash and jewelry. In all of the cases the residents were out for the evening.

“We are following leads and working with other law enforcement from across the state," said Detective Sergeant Mike Pellino. "We are asking residents to be extra vigilant on Saturdays and not to hesitate to call us for anything unusual. No lead or piece of information is too small for us to follow up.”
