Police said one person came to the door of a home on Ewart Road on Oct. 4, said he was doing some tree work and needed to be shown the property line. While the resident went out with the first suspect, another person entered the home. The homeowner and his disabled wife later noticed an electrical item valued at $100 was missing. New Garden Township Police Department, which is in contact with other area departments investigating similar incidents, requests that any suspicious activity be reported immediately to your police department. Police believe three men were involved in the burglary. One is described as a white male with a medium build and average height, estimated to be in his 30s. The second suspect was a black heavyset male, more than six feet tall between the ages of 40 and 50. No identifying information was available on the third suspect.
