Police Break Down Apartment Door To Find Friendly Intruders

Don't forget whom you give your keys to. It may cost you your door.

Hoboken police officers broke down the door of an apartment building around 3:30 a.m. on Sunday after a woman called them, saying there were intrudors in her downtown Garden Street apartment, police said.

The woman, 24, had locked herself in her bedroom, police said, as she called 9-1-1, reporting alleged thiefs in her apartment, according to police reports. When Police arrived at the scene, they successfully broke down the door and barged into the apartment to find the woman's friends in the living room, according to the report.

The woman came out of her bedroom when she heard the police and said the two alleged intruders—a 24-year-old woman from Hillsborough and a 25-year-old man from East Windsor—were her friends, whom she had not expected home until the next day, police said.

The door was pieced together and locked after the police left, according to the police report.
