Intruders Break Into Bergen County Home, Take Key Fobs, Steal BMWs While Homeowners Sleep

GLEN ROCK, NJ — Intruders broke into Glen Rock home last week and stole the car keys, then took two BMWs, police said.

The Glen Rock police responded to Fairmount Avenue last Thursday at 7:14 a.m., they said.

They found that while the residents were sleeping, intruders entered the home through an unlocked rear window and took the key fobs for the residents' vehicles. They also took a man's wallet with five credit cards.

They then took a 2022 and a 2023 BMW from the driveway, police said.

Just after 2 p.m., the 2023 BMW was found by the Trenton Police Department, police said. The vehicle’s license plates had been changed and it was extensively damaged, police said.

Detectives are investigating.
