19 BREAK-INS ???????????????????? THAT'S ONLY WHAT THEY WANT TO TELL YOU. AND HOW MANY HAVE NOT BEEN REPORTED. REMEMBER THIS POST

This is ridiculous... It's been going on so long with no captures or arrests? What are the police doing?

Everyone needs to be on the lookout. I just looked down my street and it is pitch black. People turn on every outside light you have so these people cannot hide and so if your neighbors are looking out their window they can see what is going on around your home.

a FB friend of mine lives in that area, she said that 16 cops are combing the area, the road is blocked off. They told residents to get and stay inside, they have on person in custody and are chasing another, the burglars rammed and totaled a police car. It is getting real serious now!!!!!

I'm guessing ^ is right because I live in Wayne and I've been hearing police helicopters for the last 2 hours! I thought they were searching for Jack the Ripped with all the hullabalu. Glad they're taking this seriously, though.

Brad and Keisha - where in Wayne is this going on ? I live in Wayne it's quiet over here.

it is around valley and french hill road....

As the police close in, Harry Nilsson's song JUMP INTO THE FIRE is heard blaring from the radios of every police car in the area.

I'm in mountanview, I saw cops from Wayne, Lincoln Park, Pequannock, Fairfield, Sheriff'S department, as well as state troopers. They don't commit that kind of manpower unless its serious

Good morning everyone who pass this way. Last night, several WPD cars came down Alps rd towards rt 23 at speed, code 3 with red lights and siren. The streets were still wet from the light rains. I sat here thinking that there must be something serious going on because they would not have been traveling that fast if there were not.
There was a helicopter from time to time in the area but it did not impress me as being a Police air support unit because it did not seem to orbit with a large spot lamp on from my vantage point. It has been my observation air units engines run at a higher speed and orbit low. I thought it a news chopper now I wonder if it was a medevac for an injured officer as I read here?
The PD earned their salt last night.

"The PD earned their salt last night."

If LE apprehended all of the perps, then I agree. If not, well... I'm still packing heat over here.

I had a good view of the helicopter from my house. I first noticed it around 10pm and I still heard it when I went to bed a little after midnight. It seemed to be facing SE and hovering somewhere near Rt. 23 and Fairfield Road. Every once in a while, it would make a counterclockwise loop towards Packanack Lake and then return back to it's hovering position over the Rt. 23/Fairfield Road area. I saw the chopper turn a spotlight on and off a few times. They could have been using IR or some sort nightvision scopes, which don't necessarily require visible light.

ED, KEEP PACKING !! NOT ALL WERE CAUGHT,PROGRESS!!!

I wonder if lawn service guys, or maids that people utilize passed on information to confederates on the outside. All Police should be on this .......and forget about hiding behind bushes waiting to ticket the sap doing 23 in a 25 M/P/H zone.

The Wayne PD made a substantive presentation about the crime spree at last night's Council meeting and are fully aware that everyone's help is needed at this time. We all need to be on the lookout for suspicious cars, keep our lights on when not at home, help our neighbors by picking up their papers (shove them in their mailbox) and get those garbage cans off the curb ASAP. Leave a TV or radio on when out, along with the lights. Be vigilant. For people who leave very early and come home late, ask a neighbor for help. Leave your lights on before you go to work so they are on when you get back. Some of these robberies were actually unlocked windows and doors. Check, doublecheck, and recheck before you leave the house. It's a rookie mistake and makes the burglars life so much easier. Good luck and be safe. Thanks Wayne PD.

Cathy,These people don't care. To break into someones home while their sleeping and randsack their home!! Thank god they only ransacked the house and not the people inside SLEEPING!!

The state police chopper was there it is also the medivac chopper. Although it has it it doesn't need to have that big spotlight on because I believe it has flir( foward looking infer red Rader). Something the old chopper didn't have ( thank you cristie) its much more effective to use the flir then to use the spotlight. GO WAYNE PD good job and keep it up catch.all these scum bags.

I agree they don't care. The burglary you are speaking of was an elderly couple whose house was completely dark when it happened. The perps fled as soon as they knew someone was home. Thank God for that. The PD spoke about that incident.

Cathy,this one was a mother and daughter sleeping.Daughter heard something told the mother,didn't hear anything else and went back to bed.Awoke yesterday morning to find the house completely ransacked.NOSE the family very well. SCARY!!!!

Looks like Paterson is off the hook today. Let's blame Hackensack: http://www.northjersey.com/news/bergen/Wayne_police_arrest_two_burglary_suspects_after_manhunt.html

They caught 2 of the 4 criminals, they were two black men from Hackensack. They need to be charged with a federal terrorism charge not justisdeanot burglary. The penalties need to be at least 25 years in jail, sent these low life's a message...

Should have read, just not misdemeanor....

Last night there was an attempted burglary right across the street from me at 2am..with the entire family home in bed...5 cars in the driveway. One looked through the basement window while the other tried to break open the "front door" not the back...right through the front as if the bastard lived there. Thank god a family member heard the noise and ran upstairs and scared the bastards off. There were about 15 cops there in minutes. The fact that this is now happening while people are home in bed scares the shit out of me. If you enter someones home in the middle of the night you are def. Going to encounter confrontation ...someone could be badly hurt or worst! we alll need to keep our front/back lights on all night...its soo dark on our blocks..how could we ever see these guys..I hate living in this fear..it needs to stop....

Eyes, 80%,Come on now!! Liz,Shoot first ask questions later. Did not state if they found any weapons on them or in the car? Would like to NOSE?

Shoot first? I wish...I never thought in my life that I needed/wanted to own a gun...but hey..my kids come first....questions later...

Great job Wayne P.D. Mountainview had all the action last night.

@eyes -- If I wanted to be "judgemental", I'd judge your intelligence based on your misspelling of "judgmental."

But, yes, I would judge someone who broke into my house. I'm not waiting for the judge to tell me their guilty. I'm starting with that assumption. And judgment should be swift. My first job is to protect my family not the B&E'ers "rights."

Yea EYES,Whats the matter with you! You should be perfect like Rick. Can't spell jdugmentell? Sea,i'd speld it rite !!

Umm, actually, the correct spelling is "judgmental." For whatever reason, English orthography being the irregular mess that it is, the final "e" in "judge" is dropped when a suffix is attached.

SORREY JON, sum ob us r nut edjumacated. Wnt 2 da waynne skool sistim.

Its about time that WPD finally is asking for assistance from neighboring towns and the Sheriff's dept. Their ego problem has taken its toll on the residents of Wayne for long enough. This chief refuses to broadcast on spen 1 when things get out of control in town, now with this incident dispatch did the right thing and called for help.

One more thing Michael, you do realize that these burglaries have been going on for at least 6 months? Seriously you can't just sit there and not take it to heart that something is wrong with that? I'm glad that you agree there should be more cooperation between LE in the towns and county level. Its been long overdue.

I must have spoke the truth on my original post because Daniel Deleted it.

Michael, Don't feel so bad, I got DELETED FOUR TIMES the other day. Dan does not have a cents of humur. Don't pick on anybody, you will get DELETED!! GOOD LUCK!!

I could have bet my life that after posting ,I get a " PENDING APPROVAL" Be verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry careful, your being WATCHED!! by EDITORS !!

Michael, just read other posts here and you can learn so much, I'm not the only one talking about salary's of the dept. As for officer VR, maybe I know him, maybe not. Non of my "lingo" is sequestered to just LE. Other info is public knowledge or all you have to do is ask someone from WPD there are some officers that freely talk about what goes on in the department.

Kris, Wayne is not the only town having this problem. Numerous towns in Bergen and Passaic Counties have been hit by what they think is several groups of robbers doing this latest spree. They have been renting cars with out of state plates. The recent suspects had Maryland plates and two are still on th loose.Be aware of your surroundings.SEE SOMETHING,SAY SOMETHING!!! CALL THE POLICE

BAD BOYS, BAD BOYS, WHAT THEY GONNA DO WHEN THEY COME FOR YOU??

I feel that with very few JOBS available , more of these robberies will occur. What we need is a new administration , with news ideas for jobs , less character assassination, and class war politics!

This would never happen in Fort Lee.

HEY BOY, Never say never ?

Jimmy Durante and old showman now deceased ......would say :"THE NOSE KNOWS" LOL

Question why is it that when a criminal is sought the papers and other media are SO RELUCTANT to mention race ......Preferring to Skirt the issue with descriptions like, he was about 5'5" , i65lbs wearing a dark cap ........SUCH NONSENSE ......the cops hate to admit in public .BUT PROFILING WORKS!

Fort Lee is a great town with a large highly Intelligent Asian population. The citizens are busy working , and studying to better themselves and their families........LOW LIVES are easily spotted in that community.

Emanon, The HIGH LIVES are spotted more easily than the LOWS.

Question were any of the THUGS involved wearing Hoodies and carrying Skittles?
