25K Earrings, $4K Gucci Purse In Car Stolen In Glen Rock: Police

GLEN ROCK, NJ — A visitor to Glen Rock told police that someone stole their Range Rover from a driveway last Monday—with $25,000 diamond earrings and a $4,000 Gucci handbag inside.

The Virginia resident said their SUV was parked in the driveway of a home in town. It was left unlocked with the key fob inside, the victim said.

The person said the car contained the handbag, diamond hoop earrings, and “various designer clothing with a value of approximately $ 1,000,” police said.

Video from neighbors showed that the vehicle had been taken just after 5 a.m. last Monday, police said.

“The images detected a subject, who appeared to be male, wearing all black clothing attempt to enter a locked vehicle in a neighboring driveway,” police said. “When they found that vehicle to be locked, they went next door, entered the unlocked Range Rover, and drove off with it.”
