Police: Teenage brothers confronted by suspects during home invasion in Glen Rock

GLEN ROCK, N.J. -- Police in Glen Rock are searching for at least two men after a terrifying home invasion.

Two brothers were home alone and asleep when the suspects broke in.

Neighbors on Glen Avenue describe typically a quiet neighborhood, but after two burglars broke into a home Thursday just before 2 p.m., neighbors say they're thinking about safety.

"I hope the police catch up with them a lot quicker. Stop this nonsense," one neighbor told CBS2's Thalia Perez.

"Everybody knows the police. They've probably driven by ten times today, just to make sure everyone's OK," neighbor Erin Leonard said.

Police say two brothers, ages 15 and 18, were asleep in their beds but woke up when they heard a noise. Their mother was so shaken up she didn't want to appear on camera, but told us off-camera both suspects were armed, one with a knife and the other with a crowbar.

"They forced entry through a sliding glass door at the back of the house. We believe the pry bar and the knife were the burglary tools used to force entry to the home," Glen Rock Police Chief Dean Ackermann said.

Police say the suspects may not of known there was anyone home.

"They confronted them, told them to be quiet, said they would not hurt them, had them lay facedown on their beds and told them not to move until they didn't hear any noise in the house," Ackermann said.

After rummaging through the home, police say, it appears that the suspects fled empty-handed, but the homeowners are still going through their belongings to make sure nothing was stolen.
