Reported Armed Robbery of Paterson Gas Station Under Investigation

Newark

Paterson authorities are investigating a reported armed robbery of a gas station that happened overnight in the city.

Cops were called to the 80's block of First Avenue on reports of an armed robbery in progress a little after 11:40 p.m. according to reports.

Arriving units were approached by employees who reported that shortly before officers arrived to the scene, a male suspect (who was wearing a ski-mask and armed with a weapon) pointed the weapon and demanded cash from attendants.

The suspect reportedly took an undetermined amount of cash before fleeing the scene over the bridge towards Fair Lawn.

There were no injuries immediately reported.
