Saddle Brook NJ Police Looking for Suspects in Four Recent Home Burglaries

All of the break-ins and subsequent thefts occurred on the same night, leading law enforcement to believe that the same individuals may have been behind the burglaries.

Saddle Brook police issued a press release announcing the locations of the burglaries, which occurred at houses located on Saddle River Road, Harrison Street, 2nd Street, and 8th Street. The suspects allegedly broke into the homes and made off with various items, including expensive electronics.

When police officer arrived at the scenes of the burglaries, they found remarkably similar signs of forced entries into each of the houses.

Although Saddle Brook investigators have not yet identified a suspect in any of the recent break-ins, the investigation remains ongoing.
