Toms River Hotel Holdup Probed

Suspects who held up the Toms River Ramada Inn long before dawn remain at large this afternoon.

Township police say that two men entered the hotel on Route 9 at Route 70 at around 2:30 AM, demanded money from a 46-year-old female employee, and ran off after getting $100. The action was captured on security video.

Police say the two suspects are white males. One is described as weighing about 200 pounds, wearing a brown hooded sweatshirt, dark jeans, black sneakers, black gloves and a black ski mask.

The other is described as 6'3" tall, 185 pounds, wearing a navy blue sweatshirt, faded blue jeans, tan work boots and a ski mask.

Anyone with information that can help the investigation should call Toms River Police at 732-349-0150. Sergeant Raymond Maloney and Officers Ron Bayer, Chris McDowell, and Dewey Unger are leading the probe.
