Thieves hot for headlights

Police are investigating a rash of unusual and expensive thefts in Edison and Woodbridge: sets of headlights were pried from Acuras parked in lots in the Metropark train station area on Thursday.
Earlier this month, several sets of headlights were also stolen from Acuras in East Brunswick, police said.
The high-intensity Xenon headlights can cost up to $3,000 to install in the cars, but they are currently a popular add-on item for vehicles, authorities said.
When the headlights were pried from the vehicles, the cars sustained significant damage, said Edison detective Joseph Shannon.
And in some cases, it wasn't until after dark that the car owners discovered that their headlights were stolen.
In Edison, headlight assemblies were removed from four newer model Acuras parked in parking decks at corporate buildings on Thornall Street, police said. Edison also had reports of an attempted theft of an Audi, and another theft of an Audi Thursday from Thornall Street decks.
At 333 Thornall St., headlights were removed from three Acuras -- a 1999, a 2000 and a 2001, said Shannon.
And at 499 Thornall St., a set of headlights was taken from a 2002 Acura, he said.
Less than a quarter of a mile away in Woodbridge, headlights were taken from six Acuras parked in lots on South Wood Avenue: two 2002 models parked at 194 S. Wood Ave., a 2001 Acura parked at the Hilton Hotel; a 2000 and a 2002 model parked at 200 S. Wood Ave. and a 1999 Acura parked at 100 S. Wood Ave., police said.
Edison police ask that anyone with information call their tipline, at (877) 750-TIPS (8477).
