Parsippany-Troy Hills police were called to a home on Beechwood Avenue in Lake Hiawatha around 10 a.m. on Dec. 20 by a man who reported seeing burglars enter his neighbor's house, the department said in a release.

On arrival, officers found and detained a man standing watch near a car at the intersection with Lake Shore Drive. Two others were found inside the home with stolen property in their possession, police claimed

All three — 26-year-old John Gonzalez-Gutierrez of Minotola, 25-year-old Jhojan Rodriguez-Alvarez of New York City, and 19-year-old Santiago Castro of New York City — were each charged with burglary and conspiracy to commit the same, officials wrote.

All three are being held at the Morris County lockup, authorities said.
