news release, police shared<\/a> that an attempted burglary happened on January 17, 2026, around 8 p.m., on the 900 block of Meetinghouse Road. The suspect or suspects attempted to gain entry to a home through a basement window and the rear door, but were unsuccessful. <\/p>\nThen, just a day later, on January 18, police said a home on the 700 block of Washington Lane was burglarized. Around 7:10 p.m., the suspect or suspects got into the home through a basement window and exited through a rear door. Police said several valuable items were taken. <\/p>\n
Investigators believe that both incidents are related, as they occurred around the same time at night and both were in the Rydal section of the township. <\/p>\n
It is possible that both crimes were committed by the same individual or individuals, according to investigators. <\/p>\n
Residents in the area are now being warned to remain vigilant and secure their homes. <\/p>\n
Police said it’s best to keep your home well-lit, set your alarms and use security cameras. Burglars often target primary bedrooms; it’s best to store valuables elsewhere in the home.<\/p>\n
If you see any suspicious activity, you are urged to call 911. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In Montgomery County, the Abington Township Police Department is investigating a series of burglary-related incidents.
