Police: Pair Cons Millburn Resident, Burglarize Home

Millburn police are asking for the public's help in identifying a couple believed to be involved in a burglary at a Main Street residence last Friday afternoon, officials said. 

According to police, the man rang the doorbell of a Main Street home inquiring about making roof repairs to the residence at about 2 p.m. on Feb. 15.

The man convinced the resident to let him in the house to show where the home needed repairs, police said. 

The resident told police, the man let a woman in the house and the three continued speaking about repairs.
