The house across the street and next door have both been broken into. I live in a middle class neighborhood. Officers I spoke to attribute it to drugs, gang insurgancy and some unemployment.

Shane...if they got away with it, be on the defensive because they could come back. A while back a house in my neighborhood got broken into, then another, then mine. They broke in through a window and used an axe in the attached garage to cut the door frame around the dead bolt....then backed up a moving van to the front door and proceded to unload the house...All in the middle of the day in plane sight. A couple weeks later they broke into my buddies house who had an alarm. They ripped the alarm out of the wall when it went off and continued to loot. When the cops arrived one fled through the back door, the other went into his attached garage and jumped in the mini-van. He then drove through the garage door and a chase ensued. He finally got stuck in a corn field and captured, as well as the other guy. Both were wanted for burglary charges in Chester, PA and one was wanted for attempted murder in association with a burglary.

 

Moral of the story is they see a neighborhood that is an easy target, and they could be dangerous.

Had more than our share in our little town. Older man across the street woke up to someone in his home, and someone on a bicycle robbed a woman with a knife down the street one night when they were going from their car to their home.

WASHINGTON TWP.

A man was held at gunpoint and robbed of a large sum of money, police said Thursday.

 

According to Capt. Richard Leonard, officers were called to a residence on Fox Hollow Lane, near County House Road, just after 7:45 p.m. Wednesday. Once they arrived, police learned that two black males entered the home through an unlocked door.

 

Armed with a handgun, they demanded money from the victim, who was uninjured in the robbery. He handed over cash from his business, at which time the pair fled the scene.

 

Officer George Hilbert and his K-9 partner Aron attempted to track the path of the two men, but weren't successful in finding the pair.

 

One of the suspects is described as wearing a black-colored mask, gray flannel shirt and blue jeans, standing about 6-foot-1 and weighing between 180 and 190 pounds.

 

There was no other description of the second robber.

 

Detective Timothy Breen and Detective Sgt. Richard Sumek of the police department's Criminal Investigations Unit responded to the scene and are handing the investigation, which is considered open and ongoing.

 

Anyone with information involving the incident is asked to contact Detective Breen at (856) 589-6650 or (856) 256-1212.

I think at a minimum everyone should have some kind of home alarm system whether it be a simple outdoor siren / professional alarm system / dog / etc. God forbid I ever wake up to someone standing in my room in the middle of the night...
