Police Seek the Public’s Help Identifying Armed Business Robbery Suspects

Newark Public Safety Director Fritz G. Fragé requests the public’s help identifying the below-pictured male suspects in connection with an armed business robbery that occurred on Saturday, January 21, 2023.

Just after 4:40 p.m., two Black males entered Metro PCS, located at 494 Springfield Avenue, and robbed a store clerk of $250.00 at gunpoint before fleeing towards 18th Avenue and Kent Street. 

Suspect 1 is described as 17-20 years old with a medium build and approximately 5'7" tall. He was wearing all black clothing. Suspect 2 is described having a thin build, 5'7" tall, wearing a white hooded sweater, Lakers jersey, ripped blue jeans, black boots, gloves, hat, ski mask, and goggles.

Director Fragé urges anyone with information about 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). All anonymous Crime Stopper tips are kept confidential and could result in a reward.
