Police Alert: Burglary Investigation

The Northampton Township Police Department is investigating two daytime residential burglaries that occurred on March 31. The point of entry in both incidents is by force used on a rear first floor door. Both occurred on main roads. Jewelry, electronics and cash were stolen. No physical evidence has been obtained. 

Also on March 31, at approximately 1:00 p.m., a suspicious incident occurred on Holland Road in close proximity to both burglaries. This incident, described below, is believed to be connected to the burglaries.

The suspicious incident complainant reports that he heard persistent knocking and door bell ringing at his front door. The complainant eventually went to the door where he encountered a white male, late 30’s, medium height, dark receding hair, wearing blue jeans and a blue jacket. He also noticed a burgundy Cadillac sedan, NFD, backed in to the driveway up close to the garage doors. The unknown male engaged in conversation with the complainant indicating he was looking for work in the construction industry and had heard of a construction site nearby.

Directly across the street from this location is Church where a major renovation is taking place and construction equipment and dumpsters are plainly visible from the street. The complainant referred the unknown subject to the church and watched him get into the Cadillac and drive away north on Holland Road away from the construction site. No registration number was obtained by the complainant. 

Anyone with information concerning these incidents is asked to contact Detective Kelly, Northampton Township Police at (215) 322-6111
