Two Arrested in Attempted Home Invasion Burglary in Quiet Irvington Neighborhood

Irvington Township New Jersey

A reported home invasion robbery that took place in a quiet Irvington community has police investigating. 

Residents said a swift police response had officers storm the 30's block of Laventhal Ave. Sunday afternoon at around 12:30 p.m. after receiving reports of armed men who were reportedly attempting to get inside a house at that location. Residents said close to a dozen police officers surrounded the neighborhood, taking two men into custody a short time later. 

"The particular house where police focused on has been a constant "community nuisance" and has seen  increased police activity within the past several months" a neighbor said. 

Police spent about an hour searching for other evidence while they closed off the block for the investigation.
