Gotcha! Resident Pursues Group Of Burglars To GWB: Englewood Cliffs PD

An Englewood Cliffs man chased a quartet of burglars from his home to the George Washington Bridge, where converging police captured them, authorities said.

One of the bandits had opened the door to his vehicle and was climbing in when the owner came out around 8 p.m. Sunday, Detective Lt. Ronald F Waldt said.

The thief hopped into a waiting white sedan with tinted windows that then sped off, the lieutenant said.

The caller pursued the getaway car, giving a police dispatcher the license plate number as he drove, Waldt said.

Fort Lee police headed the bandits off at the bridge, seizing the quartet for their Englewood Cliffs colleagues, he said. They had an item stolen from the victim's vehicle with them, the lieutenant noted.

Fort Lee police turned the quartet over to the colleagues from Englewood Cliffs.
