Summit Home Burglarized, $3K In Designer Items Taken

SUMMIT, NJ — The latest police reports from Summit contain a number of bike thefts and thefts of items from cars, but thieves also made off with some pricey items from inside homes.

Police say that on Aug. 12, around 5:57 a.m., a resident of Beekman Road reported to police that the home had been burglarized between 10 p.m. and 12:30 a.m.

The victim said someone entered the residence through an unsecured door and took several items from a counter. These include: A bright pink Valentino purse containing pink aviator Ray Ban sunglasses, blue aviator Ray Ban sunglasses, a Louis Vuitton credit card wallet, several credit cards, makeup, and $200 in cash; a white wicker shell-shaped clutch purse with a gold chain, and a men's black Prada wallet with several credit cards.

The value of the items was $3,058.

In addition, on Aug. 10, at 7:08 a.m., someone reported to police that a TV had been stolen from a Valemont Way residence some time after 2 a.m. The 65-inch Hisense Roku TV was worth $350.

Days earlier, on Aug. 8, someone reported to police that a person had taken a FedEx delivery package from the front steps, containing a silver/white Dyson Air Purifier worth $427.

Homeowners also reported other packages swiped this month. On Aug. 10, a $20 case of Evian water was taken from the steps of a Woodland Avenue residence. The same day, someone swiped a $35 box of pencils from Hillcrest Avenue.

Both victims described the thirsty thief as a "white male of medium build, wearing glasses, a green t-shirt, and green shorts."
