Toms River: On Tuesday, December 1, 2020 at approximately 8:50 PM police responded to Weston Drive for a report of a robbery in progress. Upon arrival officers met with the victim who stated he was selling a 2003 Honda Civic and had just met with two people who were interested in purchasing the vehicle, and the three of them took the car for a test drive.
After both suspects drove the vehicle they stopped at the intersection of Weston Drive and Ashford Road when the male suspect, who was sitting in the rear passenger seat behind the victim, grabbed the victim around the neck and placed a knife to his neck and stated “we’re taking this” repeatedly. The victim was able to escape from the male’s grasp, grab his cellular phone, and exit the vehicle. He ran to the nearest house and received help from the resident as the suspects fled the area.
A full description of the vehicle and suspects was sent to neighboring agencies through police channels, and less than two hours later the vehicle was located by Lakewood Police officers. As a result of the investigation Saheru El, 23 last known address Asbury Park, and Tonia Underwood, 18 of Lakewood, were placed under arrest without further incident. Mr. El was in possession of several knives at the time of his arrest. Mr. El was charged with First Degree Car- Jacking and Ms. Underwood was charged with First Degree Conspiracy to Commit Car-Jacking.
The incident is under investigation by Toms River Police Detective Steve Bucci and Detective Ryan Quinn. Also responding to the scene was the OC Sheriff CSI Unit. We would like to thank the Lakewood Police Department for their vigilance and assistance with this case.
Awesome they were caught
Great job!
Scumbags!! See their mugshots, vile garbage!
Great job glad they were caught.
No offense but people need to stop being so trusting. Call me paranoid if you want, I call it cautious. The dude wouldn’t have been sitting behind me.
THIS incident is why NJ needs less strict conceal carry. SUPPORT YOUR 2A RIGHTS!

Robert Connelly stay strapped or get clapped!
Happy they got caught but they probably are already out on jailed reform which they need to get rid of Just so they can commit more crime Until someone loses their life
Thank yu Toms River
Didn’t have the 1500 for the 03 civic. Now they get a 15 year sentence.
Frank Casulli bail reform means they may already have been released. The male won’t get much time and the girl will get probation.
Monty Capuletti she’ll get off for sure they’re going to smoke him though
Frank Casulli unfortunately he won’t unless he has a history. Even then it won’t be what we all expect. This stuff goes on daily in Essex County and it’s a revolving door. These guys will have to get in a high speed chase and hurt or kill a citizen before a judge will do anything.
Monty Capuletti that’s true but this happened in ocean county his first degree will be amended to a second he’ll get a 8 w a 85
Frank Casulli It will depend on history for sure. I’m thinking 13 months. Remember, the article said he gave right up when approached so they don’t even have him for resisting. He’s going to plead it down to a dumb mistake.
Monty Capuletti resisting is nothing that’s a 4th degree usually drops to obstruction it’s the charges of the crime carjacking is considered a serious crime especially he brandished a weapon
Scumbags
James Cobianchi oh god. Scary. You guys make sure you have stuff to defend yourselves
Heather Lasky awww someone cares ????
At the same time the safest thing to is just let them take it. Your car can be found, insured and replaced, your jugular can’t
Kyle Lasky agreed but if they go to attack you should have at least pepper spray on you to to stop them to be able to get away
Yep, pepper spray over tazers. Pepper spray continues to work for a long time as opposed to tazers that stop working the second you stop shocking them
Hahaha great job T.R????
Ashley Doyle Walker
Nicole Cicala so scary
Someone snitched
All for a 2003 Civic! Idiots! But Lord Murphy will let them out of jail tomorrow.
This is our 3rd hometown being destroyed by the assholes. Thank the demonRATs.
They could have at least got something better than an 03 civic????????
