Police Investigating Three Reports of Stolen Cars

One vehicle recovered, two still missing in three separate incidents

 

Toms River Police are investigating three separate car thefts that were reported over the weekend.

In two incidents, the cars are still missing, while a third has been recovered, Chief Michael Mastronardy said in a release.

A 2001 blue Volvo was stolen from the One Stop Service Station on Route 37 early Saturday morning, Mastronardy said. Security cameras caught a white male with short hair apparently enter the vehicle and drive away at approximately 1:30 a.m., Mastronardy said. Officer George Fernicolais investigated the incident.

A 33-year-old Stafford Township man reported his 1998 Ford Taurus stolen after he went into a Five Guys Burgers on Route 37 just before 8 p.m. Saturday, Mastronardy said. When the man came out of the restaurant ten minutes later his car was missing from the parking lot. Officer Carl Basile investigated the incident.

A man walking his dog near Fischer Boulevard on Saturday reported to police that he discovered a 1995 Jeep stuck in the woods, Mastronardy said. Police later discovered the vehicle had been stolen from Coty Marine sometime between Wednesday night and Saturday morning. Officer Mark DeGrandis investigated the incident.

Anyone with information on any of these vehicles can contact Det. James Magovern at (732) 349-0150 ext 1213.

Ok.....Once again..."Were these vehicles locked, or were they unlocked? Crimminals tend to try all vehicles in parking lots and driveways till they find an open one. They really don't waste time trying to break-in or hot wire one. With all the coverage that has been on this topic, please don't tell me they were unlocked.Who's smarter or dumber here..........the victim or the crimminal.
