Police: Residents Foil Burglary Attempt

Two Carteret men face burglary charges after being arrested in Parsippany on Tuesday, according to the Parsippany Police Department.

Ptlm. Earl Kinsey reported that the department's Dispatch Center received a 911 call from a home on Tremley Court t about 1:30 p.m. Residents there reportedly told police that a man knocked on the front door, rang the doorbell and ran off, fleeing the area in a white car.
