In the evening hours of December 23rd, police units were called to a home on Brower Avenue in Toms River for a reported burglary that had taken place while they were sleeping the night before. The homeowner stated that just before 2:30 AM on Saturday morning, they awoke to two individuals opening their bedroom door located on the second floor of their home.
Video home surveillance provided by the homeowner revealed, four suspects dressed in all black, wearing face masks and gloves, got out of a white BMW and approached the home. While one suspect entered the driver side door of the victim’s BMW that was parked in their driveway and rummaged through the vehicle, two other suspects attempted to enter another vehicle parked in the driveway, but were unsuccessful due to it being locked. The suspects then broke into the home and began to rummage through the kitchen and home. They proceeded upstairs and opened the homeowners bedroom door before they were scared off by the victims. The four suspects fled the area in a white BMW.
The suspect vehicle was reported stolen out of Bayonne.
