Ocean County NJ Burglary ChargesPolice recently arrested a Lyndhurst NJ man accused of burglarizing a Manchester NJ home.

The break-in attempt occurred at approximately 5:00 a.m. at a residence on Molly Pitcher Boulevard. The burglarized house is part of the Crestwood Village 4 section of Manchester, New Jersey.

According to law enforcement officials, two men attempted to gain entry into the Manchester NJ home by removing exterior window screens. The men then allegedly broke a window by hurling a large rock. Someone inside the residence heard the window breaking and dialed 911 to notify police.
