NORTHERN VALLEY AREA, N.J.—Police are looking for the driver of a black Chevy Tahoe in connection with two vehicle burglaries that took place in Closter Plaza during the early morning hours of Thursday, Jan. 9. The vehicle bears a Florida license plate CTK-W25.
Closter Police Detective Sgt. Vincent Aiello said police were notified at 5:45 a.m. on Jan. 9 that a suspicious vehicle was seen in the Closter Plaza parking lot and two vehicles were reported broken into.
Aiello said when police tried to stop the vehicle upon arriving on scene, it sped off.
The Chevy Tahoe went south along Piermont Road, where Tenafly police pursued the vehicle before it sped onto Route 80 west, where the pursuit was ended by Tenafly, said Aiello.
Anyone with information about the vehicle or its occupants should call Closter Police Detective Sgt. Vincent Aiello at (201) 768-7144.
Aiello said the vehicle’s description was entered into a statewide online police database.
The vehicles broken into were parked near Orangetheory Fitness and Cycle Bar, on the plaza’s eastern side, said Aiello. He did not have details on the make of vehicles burglarized in the plaza parking lot or what was taken.
Closter Police remind plaza shoppers and residents that they should always lock all vehicle doors, take valuables with them, and don’t leave key fobs or valuables visible in a parked vehicle.
