Police Respond to Attempted Burglaries in Lower Saucon

Police are investigating two attempted residential burglaries that occurred in the Saddle Ridge development in Lower Saucon Township over the weekend.

According to a Lower Saucon Township Police Department Crimewatch post, at approximately 3:09 a.m. Saturday an unidentified suspect tried to open a vehicle door and doors to a home in the 1500 block of Noah’s Circle. Police said about 35 minutes later, the man opened an unlocked vehicle door and a sliding glass door at a home in the 2000 block of Charles Drive, fleeing the scene when a security alarm was triggered. The post includes security videos that show the suspect approaching one home holding a flashlight as well as looking around as he walks across the driveway.

Police said neither home was entered and nothing was reported stolen from the homes. They also reminded residents to keep their exterior and vehicle doors locked, use exterior lighting, activate alarm systems and be sure that surveillance cameras are operable. Anything that appears suspicious should reported to police promptly, they said.

Anyone with information about the suspect in Saturday’s attempted burglaries is asked to contact Detective Sergeant Eric Marth at 610-625-8722 or emarth@lowersauocntownship.org or submit an anonymous tip through the LSTPD’s Crimewatch Tipline.
