The Sheriff's Office is investigating a pair of attempted break-ins to residences in Bergen, one in the Village and one in the Town, that occurred the night of Jan. 23.
In both cases, the would-be intruder or intruders failed to make entry into the homes.
One was an apartment on Gibson Place, the other a house on Creamery Road.
Investigator Andrew Hale said he believes the two attempted break-ins are related.
They happened within hours of each other.
There's little evidence at this point to identify a suspect.
What stopped the possible burglary on Gibson was a security chain on the kitchen door of the apartment. Whoever tried to break in got the door open but couldn't open it further because of the chain, Hale said.
On Creamery Road, several windows were tried but none successfully opened.
Residents in the area are reminded to lock their doors and windows and be on the lookout for suspicious activity.
Anybody with information that may assist the investigation may call the Sheriff's Office at (585) 353-5000 and ask for extension 3570.
