Burglars Scared Off In Kinnelon Monday Night: Police

KINNELON, NJ — Police are searching for three men who burglarized a Kinnelon home Monday night, but left when they saw the homeowners were home.

Police say the attempted burglary happened just before 8 p.m. on Monday on Woodchase Lane. The homeowners said they were upstairs when they heard two loud bangs at their front door, and saw "three short males wearing ski caps" in the foyer, police said. The door had been broken off the hinges.

The three men left the home once the homeowners started yelling at them, and drove away in a 2014-2016 maroon Nissan Altima with tinted windows, police said. They drove onto Boonton Ave to Route 23 away from the home.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Kinnelon Police Department at 973-838- 5400 or contact Morris County Crime Stoppers.
