East Windsor Police Investigate Burglaries

are looking into two home burglaries occurring in the first half of the day Dec. 1. In one incident, police said they responded to a Dorchester Drive residence after the homeowner reported coming back to find someone had broken in through the front door between 9 and 10:21 a.m. The woman found the home "in disarray," police said, with about $800 in jewelry and electronics stolen.

In another incident, police said they responded to a residence on Hickory Corner Road on another report of a homeowner coming back to find her house burglarized and ransacked. Police said someone stole $270 in electronics from the residence between 8:20 a.m. and 3:45 p.m.

While both burglaries are still under investigation, Detective Sgt. Richard Bernstein acknowledged there could be a link between the two. "That's certainly a possibility we would consider based on the date and time," he said.
