Rahway police are investigating an armed robbery at a food distribution warehouse, where the owner was assaulted.
The robbery occurred Tuesday around 8:45 a.m. at Nas HS Inc., a food distribution company located on New Brunswick Avenue.
The suspects were described as four armed men who were wearing masks when they entered the warehouse and demanded money.
According to owner, the suspects opened a drawer but when no money was found, he was struck in the back with the weapon. The owner ultimately gave the men $5,000 in cash that was suppose to be used to pay employees.
According to the owner, he believes this may have been an inside job because the men seemed to know exactly where to go and almost confident that there would be money since it was payday at the warehouse.
His injuries were considered non-life threatening according to reports.
Anyone with any information about the robbery is asked to call Rahway police.
