Theft Group Arrested

Working in conjunction with various federal law enforcement partners, the Allendale Police Department is investigating a small group of criminals which were in the borough on February 27, 2025. Law enforcement located occupied vehicles containing people who are suspected of or have a history of criminal involvement. At this point, the Allendale Police believe that the people intended on committing a burglary but were stopped by a robust law enforcement response. These criminals are suspected of being involved with a larger criminal enterprise committing house burglaries in the tri-state area.

All criminals involved were taken into custody by federal law enforcement. Local criminal charges will be forthcoming as the investigation continues.

The Allendale Police Department reminds residents to be vigilant and report any suspicious persons or vehicles immediately. If your house has an alarm system, it is strongly suggested that homeowners connect alarms through both landline and cellular as well as use of a loud audible alarm speaker. Should any residents have questions relating to crime prevention, please contact the Allendale Police Department at 201-825-1900.
