Solebury Township Police report that there was a forced entry residential burglary on Old Windy Bush Road on Wednesday, Aug. 18 between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. The apparent point of entry was a rear exterior door, forced open with a one-inch pry tool, said local authorities.
Police in Solebury are looking for a suspect vehicle described as "a dark green older model Jeep Cherokee occupied by two Hispanic males" that was seen on Old Windy Bush Road on Aug. 17 and 18. The vehicle and occupants were also spotted on Covered Bridge Road, allegedly looking for a horse farm when confronted by a resident after rapping on the front door and a side window of his home, said Chief of Police Dominick Bellizzie.
Bellizzie advises residents to exercise common sense precautions, like locking doors and making sure to activate alarm systems before leaving home.
Separately, Doylestown Police Chief Stephen White said his township has been "inundated" with auto break-ins for months, with an average 10-15 such incidents per week.
The thieves involved are targeting cellphones, GPS systems, wallets, laptop computers and other small items that might be sold easily to purchase drugs or for other purposes. The suspects are believed to be in their twenties and living in the area or a neighboring county, according to White.
He advises residents, as cannot be repeated often enough, to lock their vehicles and not leave valuable articles in plain view.
