Police in Newark request the public’s help with identifying a suspect who is wanted for her role during a gas station robbery with two other women on January 28. 

Police say at approximately 7 p.m., police responded to a call about a robbery in progress at the Sunoco Gas Station in the 200 block of Elizabeth Avenue.  

Upon arrival, the gas station attendant told the officers that one of the suspects accused him of not putting gas into their 2014 Gray Nissan Sentra.

When the attendant attempted to get the receipt as proof, the suspects exited the vehicle and attacked them.
