Reward Offered in Castle Ridge Drive Burglaries

Morris County CrimeStoppers has announced that a reward of up to $1,000 is available for information about burglaries at three adjacent townhouses in East Hanover last month, and provided new details about the investigation.

East Hanover police responded to reports of the burglaries on Monday, Dec. 10, and determined the trio of homes were broken into sometime between 3:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.

"Numerous pieces of jewelry were reported stolen from the units," according to a CrimeStoppers news release on Wednesday, and police are investigating another burglary that occurred in the same area on May 14.

"Due to the proximity and similar time frame and method of oepration, it is possible that the incidents were committed by the same perpetrator(s)," police said.

The news release says the townhomes that were hit are next to the Castle Ridge Plaza shopping center on Route 10, which includes a Best Buy, Michael's and Smash Burger.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact Morris County CrimeStoppers at www.copcall.org or 973-COP-CALL.
