Toms River post office robbed, 1879
NEW JERSEY COURIER 27 MAR 1879: The Post Office of this town was entered by burglars sometime during Sunday night and robbed of a small sum of money. Entrance was affected through a rear window, a pane of glass having been cut out for the purpose. No clue to the perpetrators yet. The watchmen saw two individuals pass down Main Street just before daybreak on Monday morning, but as he had no suspicion of the robbery he made no effort to secure them. Our town has heretofore been comparatively exempt from transactions of this kind.
