Mount Police New Jersey police are investigating the reported burglary of an Oakwood Village apartment.

On December 8, the 30-year-old resident of an apartment at building 63 in the Oakwood Village apartment complex reported a burglary. When police officers responded, the resident told them that he had been away from home for roughly a week. When the resident came back, he saw that his front door appeared to have been forced open.

The resident reported that several items inside the apartment had been moved, but he did not know if anything had actually been taken.

In New Jersey, burglary is addressed by N.J.S.A. 2C:18-2. In accordance with the statute, prosecutors typically charge burglary as a third degree felony. In this case, if the suspect is apprehended and later convicted, he or she could be sentenced to as many as five (5) years in New Jersey State Prison.
