Burglars Strike 3 Homes Near Mall, Police Say

Burglars struck three homes near the Cherry Hill Mall in the course of a week, grabbing mostly cash and jewelry, Cherry Hill Police said.

The incidents started June 20, when burglars hit a home in the 100 block of Linderman Avenue some time during the overnight hours, police said. The homeowner returned home around 8 a.m. to find jewelry and cash missing, police said.

Somewhere between June 20 and June 22, burglars hit a home less than a mile away from the first incident, breaking into a home in the 100 block of Bala Road, police said. Officers who responded to that scene noted the burglars had forced in a back door, but it was unclear what, if anything, was taken, police said.

The third came Monday during daytime hours—burglars broke through a ground-level window of a home in the 400 block of Woodland Avenue some time between 10:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., and grabbed jewelry, cash and electronics, police said.

All three incidents are currently under investigation.
