Westfield attempts burglary linked to recent vehicle thefts
Westfield, NJ A reported attempted burglary occurred early Sunday morning on Westfield Avenue. Suspect(s) attempted to enter the residence through first-floor windows around 4:05 AM but did not gain entry.
The suspects fled south on Westfield Avenue in a black BMW X5 with New York license plates. An officer on patrol observed the vehicle shortly after the attempted break-in traveling rapidly near Summit Avenue and Clifton Street.
The incident is part of a troubling trend in the area, following two vehicle burglaries reported last Monday on the north side. Both incidents involved high-end vehicles parked in driveways, which were likely left unlocked and suffered no forced entry damage.
The Westfield Police Department has increased patrols in residential neighborhoods overnight and urges residents to secure their homes and vehicles. Suspicious activities should be reported immediately to 911.
Vehicle theft remains a significant issue statewide, with 11,140 vehicles reported stolen. Union County alone saw nineteen vehicles stolen last week.
