CHATHAM — A Chatham Township resident narrowly avoided a burglary in the early hours of Wednesday morning, with the home’s security alarm system thwarting the would-be intruders, as reported by local police.

On Wednesday, September 20, approximately at 2:33 a.m., two individuals, concealing their identities with masks, made an attempt to gain unlawful entry into a residence located on Westminster Road via a back window. Thankfully, the activation of the audible burglary alarm deterred the intruders, prompting them to flee the scene.

The assailants made their escape in a compact black SUV, heading in the direction of Fairmount Avenue. Following investigations, the police determined the vehicle had been stolen and was later discovered abandoned within neighboring jurisdiction boundaries.

The suspects have been described as males, cloaked in hoodies, masks, and gloves, with one observed in dark-colored sweatpants, as per the police description.

Authorities are appealing to anyone possessing information related to this incident to contact Detective Mike Bloom of Chatham Township Police at (973) 377-0100, extension 4520.

In light of this event, the police are reminding residents to remain vigilant, advising the routine locking of homes and activation of burglar alarms to bolster security.
