Criminal Activity Alert - Attempted Burglary - High Ridge Section of S.R.-

On Wednesday March 18th, 2015 a resident from the High Ridge section of Saddle River reported an attempted burglary to their residence. During the overnight an actor/actors cut though a section of a wooden overhead garage door. By removing this panel the actor was able to crawl through the hole into the garage. At some point the door leading into the residence was opened and the burglar alarm activated. The alarm was silenced by the resident and reset before the alarm company received any signal. The family dog was barking during this event. The next morning when the resident went to leave for the day the damage to the garage door was discovered and the police were called.

The following tips may reduce your chances of becoming a victim;

 If you have an alarm system, update it, and use it.
 Second story windows should be alarmed.
 Leave interior and exterior lights on to make your home appear occupied.
 Leave a television or radio on inside your home.
 Please remove jewelry and valuables from the bedrooms.
 Remove safes from the master bedroom and their closets.
 Lock ALL doors and windows. We find many unlocked doors.
 Lock any unoccupied vehicles and remove the key fobs from them.
 Remove mail and newspapers from your driveway the day they are delivered.
 Secure any ladders on your property.
 Lock any unoccupied vehicles and remove the key fobs from them.
