Woman Sought In South Jersey After Using Stolen Checks: Police

TOMS RIVER, NJ — Toms River police are hoping someone can identify a woman they say cashed checks at three banks in South Jersey, after the checks were stolen during car burglaries at Riverwood Park earlier this month.

The burglaries happened Jan. 7, said Ralph Stocco, Toms River Police Department spokesman. As parents watched their children at the sports complex, someone smashed out windows and took property, Stocco said, including several purses, credit cards, cash and checkbooks.

"Subsequently, surveillance images observed a white female utilizing the stolen checks at three Ocean First banks in Hammonton, Little Egg and Mays Landing," he said.

The woman is driving a gray Nissan minivan and may not live in the immediate area, Stocco said.

Anyone with information should contact Detective Mark Bajada at 732-349-0150 extension 1241 or mbajada@trpolice.org.
