$70K Worth of Glasses Stolen from Holmdel LensCrafters

Holmdel, NJ - Last Friday, Aug. 19, an estimated $70,000 worth of eyeglasses and other merchandise was stolen from the Holmdel LensCrafters store in Holmdel Commons.

At 3:30 a.m. on Friday, officers responded to the store because its burglar alarm was going off. Upon arrival, police found the store's front door had been pried open and the contents of the store were lying on the floor. Nobody was inside the store when police got there, but surveillance video showed five actors in the store wearing masks, hoodies and gloves. They were caught on camera emptying the store's merchandise into garbage bags. An estimated value of the stolen proceeds is $70,000, Holmdel police said.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Det. Andrew Kret of the Holmdel Township Police Department at 732-946-4400, ext. 1713.
