The East Brunswick Police Department is asking for the public’s help after releasing surveillance images of individuals believed to be connected to an active fraud investigation in Middlesex County.

Authorities say the suspects are believed to be involved in multiple fraudulent transactions at retail locations within East Brunswick. Investigators emphasize that community cooperation could play a critical role in identifying the individuals and advancing the case.

Alleged Fraud Incidents

According to police, the incidents occurred at several businesses in and around the Midstate Mall area. While officials have not released full details, investigators say the suspects may have used deceptive methods to unlawfully obtain goods or services.

Retail fraud cases of this type often involve:

• Stolen or altered payment information
• Fraudulent returns
• Other forms of financial deception

Police believe the suspects may have targeted multiple stores over a short period of time, raising concerns among local retailers.

Description of the Suspects

Surveillance images released by police show two individuals believed to be connected to the investigation:

• Suspect 1: A tall woman, reportedly over six feet in height, with distinctive tattoos on the backs of both hands
• Suspect 2: A male individual; additional identifying details have not yet been released

Investigators are hopeful someone in the community may recognize the individuals from the images.

Call for Public Assistance

Police are urging anyone who recognizes the suspects or has information related to the case to contact law enforcement immediately.

Authorities stress:

• Do not attempt to approach or confront the individuals
• Submit tips directly to police

Tips can be shared with the East Brunswick Police Department’s Detective Bureau or through anonymous tip lines, ensuring confidentiality for those who come forward.

Impact on Local Businesses

Retail fraud remains a growing concern across New Jersey. Repeated incidents can lead to:

• Financial losses for businesses
• Increased security costs
• Higher prices for consumers

Law enforcement officials say quick identification of suspects can help prevent additional incidents and protect both merchants and customers.

Reminder to the Community

Police emphasize that the release of surveillance images does not imply guilt. All individuals are presumed innocent until proven otherwise in court. The purpose of releasing the photos is strictly to gather information, not to encourage vigilantism.

As the investigation continues, authorities say updates will be provided when appropriate. Residents are encouraged to remain vigilant, review the images carefully, and report any information that may assist investigators.
