Narberth Police Seeking Broad-Daylight Burglar

A Narberth burglar climbed on top of a large rock, sliced open a window screen to enter the house, stole thousands of dollars in jewelry and other valuables and fled, all in the 30 minutes the homeowner was gone Tuesday morning, police said.

The resident of a home on the 400 block of Grove Place, near the SEPTA tracks in south Narberth, went to a doctor's appointment at 9 a.m. Tuesday and returned at 9:30 to a ransacked bedroom, police said.

In Mayor Tom Grady's weekly NarbNet email bulletin to residents, he encouraged vigilance.

"Make sure we keep a good watch on each of our neighbor’s homes and neighborhoods," Grady wrote. "There are some bad people out there that will break into homes and we need make sure we keep an alert for any suspicious activity."
