Gene Bachonski, after doing a canvass of the area, police have obtained surveillance video and have identified \u201cvehicles of interest\u201d in the case. Police said they could not release the video or descriptions of the vehicles since the investigation is still underway.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_left\"><div class=\"fb-share-button fcbkbttn_large_button \" data-href=\"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/tomsriver\/2024\/04\/intricate-nature-of-toms-river-jewelry-heist-revealed-trpd-has-leads\/\" data-type=\"button_count\" data-size=\"large\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A million-dollar jewelry heist in Toms River was undoubtedly professionally planned, with police on Tuesday releasing details of the length the perpetrators went to steal goods without detection.
