RAMAPO - Police continue to search the Lime Kiln Road area of Wesley Hills this morning
 for a man suspected of robbing a house of jewelry and cash.
The home invasion robbery was reported at 9:34 a.m. on Lime Kiln Road, according to police.
Two women apparently interrupted the burglar in their home and he fled, said Ramapo Police Detective Sgt. Brian Corbett.
By 11:10 a.m., Ramapo Police had saturated the area and continued to question residents and search the wooded area behind the home where the break-in occurred.
Police broadcast a description of the suspect as a 5-foot-10 to 5-foot-11 white man in his late 20s to early 30s with a tan complexion and thin build. The suspect was last seen wearing a white T-shirt and a baseball cap.
Police were searching Wilder Road and surrounding streets. Several men in the area were arranged into an impromptu lineup and presented to the victims, but they were not identified as the burglar.
No arrests have been made.
Neighbor Jessica Chanofsky, who was outside her home as police searched the area, said she had lived there for a decade.
"This is an extremely safe neighborhood. We keep our doors unlocked," she said. "Not any more."


Note: The Helicopter hovering over Wesley Hills was searching for the suspect.
