Saddle Brook Home Burglarized In Broad Daylight Wednesday: Police

SADDLE BROOK, NJ — Two suspects are wanted in connection with a home burglary in Saddle Brook Wednesday, police said.

The homeowner alerted police that two men entered the home after he remotely checked security cameras that detected movement, said Chief Robert Kugler.

At first, police suspected the men might be in the house when they arrived, so they set up a perimeter and entered, Kugler said. The house was empty.

A Bergen County Sheriff's Department K-9 tracked the men to nearby Nedellec Drive, the chief said.

Sheriff's officers processed the ransacked home for evidence. Police were not sure if anything "of significant value" was missing as of Wednesday night.

Video footage shows the suspects have dark skin and were wearing hooded sweatshirts, Kugler said.

"It's unusual to a burglary in the middle of the day, and it's likely the suspects knew the homeowners were not home," Kugler said.

Police ask anyone who may have seen anything to contact them at 201-843-7000.
