Police in Newark request the public’s help in locating Ms. Fair Jackson, 25, and Mr. Alpha Jalloh 26, both of Newark, each wanted in connection with a theft that occurred on Saturday, July 10.
Police said at approximately 3:30 p.m., police responded to Home Depot, at 399-401 Springfield Avenue, on a call of a theft.
According to police, a woman and two men were confronted by the store’s loss prevention employees after witnessing them steal several electric drill batteries.
Upon approaching the suspects, a store employee was sprayed in the face with a substance by the female suspect, who then fled along with the male suspects.
Police said Newark Detectives investigating this incident have identified Jackson and Jalloh as two of the suspects and have obtained a warrant for their arrest.
Both suspects are also being sought for two other incidents, both occurring on Saturday, August 28.
The first was an attempted robbery at Prima Vera Liquors, 49 Pacific Street. A man entered the store and demanded cash from the attendant’s register at gunpoint.
Another attendant observed the incident and the suspect fled, heading south on Pacific Street.
Police said at 9 p.m. that same day, an armed man robbed two attendants at 7-Eleven, located at 240 Elizabeth Avenue.
