Somerset County Prosecutor Michael H. Robertson and Chief of County Detectives John W. Fodor said thieves target rural areas by seeking out unlocked cars, and ones with fobs inside or near the vehicle with the intent to steal them.
Here's where the seven vehicles were stolen from between Oct. 15 and Oct. 18:
- Bernards Township: 3
