Update on Nutley Diversion Burglary

Posted

UPDATE:

Police are investigating a Diversion Burglary that occurred on Fischer Ave. December 9th.

An elderly resident told police that a man banged on her front door at 3:00 Tuesday afternoon claiming there was a chemical spill a block over. He produced an identification card and asked to enter her basement. After allowing what she believed to be an actual contractor downstairs, he turned on water creating noise. He then radioed someone saying all appeared to be in order.

This is when actor #2 entered the home and ransacked the bedroom. Police investigating the incident learned that two men ran from the residence carrying hand held radios and entered a black SUV parked on Hickory containing two more men.

The New Jersey State Police with the help of the victim created a composite description of the actor that came to the door.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Nutley Police Investigations Unit 973-284-4940.
