   South Brunswick Police released two images Monday of a suspect who allegedly stole a donation jar from a local restaurant.
   According to police, the suspect went to the Jersey Diner on Route 130 and ordered some fries and a drink saying he had a long drive ahead of him.
   As he waited by the register, he allegedly picked up a donation jar belonging to the Hugs for Brady Foundation and emptied the money into his jacket pockets.

   Police said the donation jar contained approximately $150 at the time of the theft. The suspect left before the theft was detected.
   Police watched video surveillance from the restaurant reportedly showing the suspect stealing the money at 5:23 p.m. on Sunday March 23.
   Police describe the suspect as a white male in his late 40s to early 50s with gray hair and a mustache.
   He also has a significant bald spot on the back of his head and was wearing a blue zipper hooded sweatshirt.
   Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Ken Herman at 732-329-4000 ext. 7475.
