Update: Burglary Suspects Forced Their Way Into South Brunswick Home, Police Say

Two men forced their way into a Harper Road home in South Brunswick Wednesday morning and demanded money from the resident, police said.

Around 11:50 a.m. police were called to the home.

According to a news release from Lt. James Ryan:

The resident told officers he heard a knock at his front door, and when he answered it, two men pushed their way inside.

One man grabbed the victim and took him to a second-floor bedroom, then both demanded money.

The resident was able to break free. He ran to a neighbor’s house and called 911.

The two men fled without stealing anything. They were last seen running toward Welcome Farms Road.

Both men spoke English, with heavy Spanish accents.

One man was about 40-years-old. He was about 6 feet tall, with a medium build, and he wore dark jacket and blue jeans.

The other man was about 35-years-old, about 5 feet 6 inches tall, with a thin build. He wore a grey jacket and light colored blue jeans. He had an unusual walk, which may be the result of a prior injury.

As part of their investigation, detectives are reviewing video surveillance from nearby homes and businesses.

Anyone with information is asked to call South Brunswick police at (732) 329-4646 or Detective Nathan Labuda at (732) 329-4000 ext. 7469.
