A terrifying home invasion occurred in Caldwell, Essex County, New Jersey, where a group of burglars broke into a home early Sunday morning, around 5:30 a.m. The suspects, possibly four individuals, were after the key fob for a high-end vehicle parked in the driveway. They attempted to break into the house through a side door, then tried the front before using a crowbar to break in through a window. The homeowners, who were inside, were woken by the noise and confronted one of the suspects, causing them to flee. Police were called to the scene, and another home in the same neighborhood was also targeted shortly after. The burglars were masked and gloved, making identification difficult. Authorities are warning residents to secure their homes.
