Police Seek Information After Suspicious Persons Incident

Toms River police ask that anyone with information about a suspicious persons incident — during which a Frontage Road woman said a man peered into her home — contact the department. 

The 47-year-old victim reported that she heard her dog barking Wednesday and when she looked out of her bedroom window she saw a man looking in, according to Chief of Police Michael Mastronardy. 

"She yelled at him and the subject, a black male about 5 foot 7 inches, 200 pounds, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, a black jacket and dark jeans, ran to and entered a red four door sedan that was parked in front of the house,"Mastronardy said. "A witness reported that she observed a white female in the vehicle about 20 years old with dark curly hair and wearing big sunglasses."

No entry to the home was made, the chief said. Anyone with information is asked to call Capt. Bruce Burgess at 732-349-0150, ext. 1200.
