Tenafly and other Bergen County and North Jersey towns have seen a spike in the number of break-ins in the last 3 months. Whether these are related to the winter daylight savings clock, the economy and or the holiday season when residents have more valuables and gifts in their homes, no one is sure.
Police is not sure whether these are organized gang related break-ins or just random opportunistic ones. The most recent of the string of burglaries in Tenafly took place on December 6th.
