Second Home Invasion reported to Police

Glen Rock police are investigating a possible second home invasion that reportedly occurred earlier the same evening as the first crime.  In this incident, which occurred around 2:30 a.m., the would-be assailant entered through an unlocked back door.  In this case the suspect made his way up to the second floor; opened one of the bedroom doors and inside there was a 16-year-old female.  The intruder was scared away — running back downstairs and out of the house — when he saw that the teen was still awake.  The girl’s father searched the house and noticed a door in the mudroom was open, but did not call police at the time.  When the family learned of the other crime from the news, they notified police.  Detectives along with the Bergen County Sheriff’s Department Bureau of Criminal Investigations crime scene unit processed to the scene.  No suspect description could be provided.
