Authorities in Newark seek the public’s assistance in identifying the suspects in connection with an armed robbery that occurred on Monday, July 8.
Newark Public Safety Director Fritz G. Fragé said at approximately 12:50 a.m., three men walking in the 200 block of Sherman Avenue were approached and surrounded by a group of six males who robbed them at gunpoint.
Officials said the suspects fled on foot, heading west on East Runyon Street.
Detectives investigating this incident describe the suspect, who brandished a handgun, as wearing a black T-shirt, black pants, and a black ski mask, officials say.
Director Fragé urges anyone with information regarding the identity of either of these suspects to call the Police Division’s 24-hour Crime Stopper tip line at 1-877-NWK-TIPS (1-877-695-8477).
