TOMS RIVER – The Toms River Police Department is reminding residents to lock their cars and homes after receiving several reports of two men driving through neighborhoods looking for potential theft targets.
These reports stem from Sunday afternoon around 3:30 p.m. after residents described a grey Jeep Grand Cherokee slowly driving through the New Hampshire Avenue and North Maple neighborhoods.
Callers further told police that the car was occupied by two black men wearing ski caps and they appeared to be canvassing the area. Police said that they possibly entered a resident’s vehicle on Donna Dee Court, but were not successful.
The car was then seen driving on New Hampshire into Lakewood and then seen northbound on the Garden State Parkway. It was later determined that the vehicle was reported stolen out of Old Bridge, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Toms River Police Department.
