Police recently apprehended three men accused of several burglaries and thefts in Mendham Township and Chester Township, NJ.
The three burglary suspects are from Chicago, Illinois. It is unclear at this time if they came to New Jersey to commit the home break-ins.

According to the victim, one of the suspects was dressed in a government utility worker uniform.
Police officers in surrounding neighborhoods then looked for the suspects’ getaway vehicle.
