A set of robberies that took place in the city sprung Hillside Police officers into action overnight.
Officers responded to the 1400 block of North Broad Street at around 2 a.m. on reports of a robbery in progress with shots fired.
The suspects involved in the robbery reportedly fired at least one round in the direction of the victim before fleeing the scene in a vehicle. Police caught up with that vehicle a short distance away where they followed/lost track of it in the area of Grove and Lyons Ave.
Earlier in the evening, a strong armed robbery that took place on Liberty Ave. at around 5 p.m. had police scramble to the scene where they cornered four suspects charging them with robbery.
There were no injuries in either incident.
