While several burglaries were reported in the last week throughout Millburn-Short Hills, police are saying they are not necessarily related to those previously reported.

Police Capt. James Miller, public information officer, said the incidents either were not located in the Wyoming and South Mountain sections or did not follow the method used in those incidents.

A string of burglaries to both homes and cars have been reported in recent weeks in those two neighborhoods. In the case of the car burglaries, police report the cars were unlocked at the time of the incident. Those with information are asked to contact police at 973-564-7017.

On Saturday evening, police investigated a burglary at a Mechanic Street apartment. Two collectors' books of coins was reported missing, and police said the suspect may have entered through an unlocked window. The burglary happened between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

A FedEx driver reported the burglary of his truck on Thursday while it was parked at CVS on Millburn Avenue. Police said someone broke one of the windows of the vehicle and stole a GPS unit. Police believe the incident happened while the driver was making a delivery between 5:30-5:50 p.m.

Also on Thursday, a Cranford resident reported someone stole a laptop computer and GPS unit from his unlocked vehicle while it was parked at the Mall at Short Hills.
