Both had their heads wrapped to prevent identification during the 7 p.m. break-in on Bridle Path, Police Chief Benjamin Fox said this afternoon.
Even homes with alarms systems and cameras can be burglarized — requiring increased vigilance on the part of neighbors, Fox said.
“In Wyckoff or any community, the greatest defense against burglaries are residents reporting suspicious persons and vehicles that they observe,” he said.
“We are now approaching the holiday season when homes tend to be unoccupied more often and there are early hours of darkness, both of which lead to increased instances of burglaries,” the chief said. “The eyes and ears of an entire town can assist the police in apprehending burglars who invade the privacy of homes and steal personal property.
“If you think it’s suspicious, report it,” Fox said.
