Burglars used patio furniture to break into 2nd floor of Bryn Mawr homes

A string of burglaries in one Main Line neighborhood is under investigation.

Police say the series of break-ins happened Saturday night, and the thieves used the same tactics to get into each home.

“This neighborhood is real quiet,” said Reco Jefferson. “It’s kinda scary because I have kids.”

Bryn Mawr residents like Reco Jefferson remain on high alert after burglars targeted his neighbor’s home on the 800 block of Roscommon Road.

Police said there were three burglaries in one week, and the suspects are climbing on outdoor furniture to break into homes on the second floor and look for jewelry.

“We do everything we can to protect ourselves, but this is one of those neighborhoods where I guess people see that we have nice things,” said Jefferson.

Jefferson said he heard his neighbor’s alarm go off and immediately called 911 when he saw the suspects across the street.

“They were real professional – hoodies, gloves, masks,” said Jefferson. “It was dark, so you couldn’t make out too many features other than then running down the driveway.”
