FIRST REPORT: The Lakewood Police Chief – protecting the town for about 35 years -suffered his own blow with his home burglarized, sources told TLS.
Neighbors tell TLS that the burglar(s) broke into the home some time between 11:00 AM-2:00 PM on Shabbos while the homeowners were not home.
Upon returning home, the Chief learned of the burglary, and realized “items near and dear to him were stolen,” a source said.
A neighbor tells TLS one of the children saw vehicle in the Chief’s driveway around the time of the burglary, but thought there was some event happening there.
Investigators responded to the area and went to multiple neighbors looking for security footage.
“They said the burglar(s) stole important items,” one neighbor told TLS, “though they didn’t specify what was taken.
The incident is under investigation.

The irony here is amazing
Life in Lakewood everyday it’s just getting worse we need more police
Need more money for more police officers..Taxes may go up..You still want more police but less taxes..Won’t happen..Sorry Gotta money gotta frm someplace.
cheif we feel terrible for you and in the words of george w were gonna get those evildoers and serve em a double dose of justice!!!!!
hope they get the perps quick and retrieve the items.
no need for more police just the police that we have should focus more on cleaning up the town from bad people instead of being busy with giving out speeding tickets, cell phone, seatbelt, parking not in the line on second street………
OMG!! What utter Chutzpah!!! I hope they catch that scoundrel or scoundrels and finally teach them a lesson. Time to take this town back. Once and for all.
I would not be surprised it the burglars had inside information about where the homeowners were at the time of the crime. After all, it’s very brazen to park their car in the driveway of the Chief of Police in middle of the day!! My other concern is if they also stole any law enforcement credentials or firearms..
I feel sorry for the cheif police.
I hope they didn’t take his gun.
What street neighborhood is this?
WOw ! Real Chutzpa !! Hope they catch the perps. For security reasons I wont divulge where the chief lives. Suffice it to say The neighborhood is (moderated).
agree with g3 above. For every burglury have a drug bust or let all the police “hang out in the hood” till things get better. Make the theives nervous recks. It’s alot of nerve that they go after law enforcement. maybe we should have a weekly night out against crime. Start with ridge and windom. Time we clean up the town once and for all.
I FEEL FOR CHIEF CAUSE ITS HAPPEN TO ME, BUT I HEAR ALOT THAT THIS PLACE HAS TO B CLEANED UP, NEWSCAST! EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD NEEDS THE CLEAN UP! ITS ALWAYZ EASIER SAID THEN DONE.
That’s silly of you. Speeding, non seat belt, and cell phone use can cause death. Keep giving the tickets! This robbery although horrific was not physical damage or injury.
