Burglary Investigation -
South Brunswick Police are investigating a reported burglary in the Princeton Walk Development. Police were called on Thursday evening to a Brookwood Court home on a reported theft. Officers arrived and spoke to two residents of the home. The residents said they came home from walking their dog and found their front door partially open. Officers searched the residence and discovered some rooms ransacked. Officers determined the residents’ parents were away on vacation and they had thrown a party the night before. The residents indicated approximately 50 high school aged people attended the party but they did not know most of them. They advertised the party on Snapchat and people showed up from all over the area including some from Montgomery, Hillsborough, and South Brunswick.
The residents believed some thefts occurred during the party but were unsure what was taken. Officers located multiple doors and windows unlocked in the home. The suspects took two laptops but left other items behind. The residents said there was an envelope in one room with $100 in cash but the suspects only took $70 dollars.
Neighbors reported the residents were holding several gatherings in the days since their parents went away on vacation. Anyone with information on the thefts is asked to call Detective Tim Hoover at (732) 329-4000 extension 7443.
