Toms River Statue Damaged by VandalOn June 14, 2015 at approximately 3:20 am a man did damage to a life size sculpture that was in front of 216 Main Street in downtown Toms River. The man was seen on video surveillance approaching the statue and knocking it over. He appears to be a white man with a thin build. He is also wearing a watch or bracelet on his right wrist. Recently, twenty bronze statues were placed around the business district as a cultural enhancement. They are all on a four month loan from Seward Johnson Grounds for Sculpture. The statues typically weigh over 1,000 pounds and, as seen on the video, take a significant effort to knock them over.Anyone with information as to the identity of the suspect should contact Detective Roger Hull at 732-349-0150 extension 1291 or private message us All information will remain confidential.
