Newark Public Safety Director Fritz Fragé requests the public’s help with identifying the suspects pictured below, who robbed a victim at gunpoint of her money and personal belongings on September 19, 2023. 

The victim reported to police that three Black males approached her at approximately 10:35 p.m. and demanded that she give them her belongings while she was in the 60 block of Monroe Street. Two of them began to go through her pockets and one of them pulled out a gun, pointing it in her face. They then took her purse containing $40.00, credit cards, a cell phone, and her driver’s license before fleeing northbound on Monroe Street. 

The first suspect is described as having a dark complexion and a thin build. He was wearing all-black clothing with white sneakers, and a black face mask. 

The second suspect, described as having a dark complexion, has a heavy build, was wearing a white mask, gray sweatpants, a black hooded sweatshirt, and shoes. 

The third suspect, described as having a dark complexion, has a thin build and was wearing a white mask, sneakers, a tan hooded sweatshirt, and gray shorts. 

A heavy-set African-American female was with the suspects prior to the incident and was later observed purchasing food with them using a credit card taken from the victim.
