CHATHAM, NJ—Chatham Township Police are investigating multiple burglaries that occurred early Sunday, September 13.

"A residence on Highland Avenue, Hall Road and Glenmere Drive were entered by unknown actor(s)," said township police. "In each instance, the residents were home and unaware that their home was being burglarized."

Two of the targeted homes were left unlocked, police said, and both of the residences were entered through sliding doors at the rear of the home.
