Weekend Car Theft Attempt Reported In Holmdel: Cops

HOLMDEL, NJ - Local law enforcement are warning residents to lock their vehicles after an unlocked Mercedes G-Wagon was entered - but not stolen - over the weekend.

In a Monday afternoon Facebook post, the Holmdel Township Police Department noted that the unlocked vehicle on Bucks Mill Lane was not stolen as its fob was not in the car at the time.

There was also a Ferrari parked in the street in front of the residence where there was also an attempt at entry, but that car was locked, police said.

The suspects’ vehicle is a dark colored four-door sedan with tinted windows, police said, with the suspects appearing to have been juveniles or young adults.

Those who witnessed anything suspicious in the area over the weekend are urged to contact the Holmdel Police Detective Bureau at (732) 946-4400.

“There is a stolen vehicle ring working in the Monmouth County area. As this incident confirms, you can prevent your cars from being stolen, or vandalized, by keeping them locked and bringing your keys and/or key-fob into your house,” Holmdel police said. “These suspects have ONLY stolen cars that were unlocked, with the key-fobs inside.”
