Police still seek information on who may have tried to burgle the home.
A home burglary alarm kept one Florham Park resident from having his home burgled, according to Police Capt. Robert Treiber.
Sgt. Karl Svenningsen of the Florham Park Police responded to a burglar alarm at a Rockwood Road home at about 3:30 p.m. July 16, Treiber said.
Svenningsen found the rear basement bilco doors had signs of damage, which Treiber said were "consistent with someone attempting to force entry."
