North Brunswick 'Mad Eggers' Arrested

NORTH BRUNSWICK, NJ - The North Brunswick "mad eggers" have been arrested. As Patch reported earlier this week, almost 100 cars in North Brunswick Township have been pelleted with raw eggs in an egging spree that started last week.

Cars in the Hidden Lakes, Governor's Point and Willowbrook condo developments were especially targeted and residents said they were getting extremely tired of waking up every morning to find eggs on their vehicles. Now, on Friday afternoon, North Brunswick police said they were "happy to report that the 'mad eggers' have been captured and are in custody."

"These egging incidents have been targeting the residents of the Hidden Lake area, with MANY victims reporting their cars and homes egged over several different days," police said.

Four men in total were behind the egging, cops said: Taranbir Singh, 18, of Carteret, and Hamza Ahmed, 20, also of Carteret were arrested Thursday night. Both have been charged with the numerous counts of criminal mischief, and were released. Manraj Singh, 19, of Carteret and Simranjit Singh, 21, of Sayreville, were taken into custody Friday afternoon and charged similarly.

Police said they did not think the four men had any ties to North Brunswick, and that they randomly chose the area for egging. Police think many more egging victims have not come forward and they are urging car owners to do so.

"They told me I'm the 72nd phone call. I asked, 'What are you going to do?' Unmarked cars. Watching. What can you do at this point?" said Patti Vetter, egging victim.

"I was first hit on Thursday. Then every day at the car wash. It was an expensive week for me," said another resident, Irene Duryea.

Carteret police helped identify the suspects, North Brunswick PD said. Original Patch reporting:
