Overnight between Monday, July 28 and Tuesday, July 29,  there were 5 reported residential burglaries that occurred in the River Road, Scudder Road, and Bernard Drive area of the township. During some of the residential burglaries, the suspects located vehicle keys and subsequently stole the victim’s vehicles. Our Officers and Detectives are actively working on the investigation.

Some tips to help prevent home burglaries include the following:

1. Secure Doors and Windows: Ensure all doors and windows are locked, even when you’re at home.
2. Install a Security System: A home security system with alarms, cameras, and motion detectors can deter burglars. Make sure to advertise the presence with signs or stickers.
3. Use Motion-Activated Lighting: Install motion sensor lights around the exterior of your home, or smart lighting to activate lights.
4. Keep Valuables Out of Sight: Don’t leave valuable items where they can be viewed from the outside.
5. Be Cautious with Social Media: Avoid posting about vacations or trips until you return.
6. Secure your Garage: Don’t forget to lock your garage or any doorways that lead into your home.
