$25K in Jewelry Stolen From Montclair Home

A window was forced open and jewelry was reported stolen from a Heller Way home, Montclair Police Lt. Det. Angel Roman said.

The homeowners had been in and out of the house all day and came home at about 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 19 to find a jewelry box containing $25,000 worth of jewelry missing from a bedroom, Roman said. An antique box which was in a dresser was also reported stolen.

The burglar or burglars apparently entered the house through a double-hung window on the ground level. The window was forced upward, breaking the lock.

A homeowner on Glen Ridge Parkway reported a rear door had been kicked in on Wednesday, Nov. 21, at 4:26 p.m. 

The dead bolt lock had been broken away from the door jam, but nothing was reported missing. 

Anyone with information regarding either of these incidents should contact Det. Charles Cunningham at 973-509-4716.
