AVALON – On Monday January 30, 2023 at approximately 7:26 pm, a security camera affixed to a property shows two masked men, wearing dark clothing, hoods, and gloves, exiting a vehicle and approaching an occupied residence. One of the men surreptitiously entered through the unlocked front door while the other remained outside. Less than one minute later, the man is seen exiting the residence with two purses. A few minutes later they returned, the same individual entered the residence again and appears to remove keys to a vehicle. They then entered a vehicle in the driveway and stole numerous items, then entered a getaway vehicle and departed the area. There was no confrontation between the actors and the residents inside. Individuals may be armed.
The Avalon Police Department reminds residents that burglary and thefts of motor vehicles are on the rise throughout New Jersey in record numbers. Avalon is not exclusive to this type of criminal activity. These are mostly “crimes of opportunity” in which actors take advantage of unlocked residences and motor vehicles. Chief Christopher is urging all residents to be alert and aware of their surroundings and call immediately if you see or hear anything suspicious. The best way to avoid becoming a victim is to keep all doors to residences, garages and vehicles locked even while you are home. If you have any information please call the Avalon Police Department at (609) 967-3411 or Avalon Police Detectives at (609) 967-7743.
