Police Seek Help Identifying Home Invasion Robbery Suspects

Newark Public Safety Director Fritz G. Fragé requests the public’s help in identifying the below-pictured suspects in connection with a home invasion robbery that occurred on Monday, January 1, 2024.
 
At approximately 3:15 p.m., Police responded to a residence at Boston Street near South Orange Avenue on a call of a home invasion. A male victim answered a knock at the door to find a Hispanic male and a Black female standing outside. The female suspect sprayed the victim with pepper spray and the two suspects entered the home, stealing the victim’s wallet, containing two credit cards, his driver’s license, and $20.00 in cash. Both suspects fled westbound onto South Orange Avenue.
 
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.  Anonymous tips may also be made using the Police Division’s website at: https://www.newarkpublicsafety.org/how-do-i/submit-a-crime-tip/. #newarknj #publicsafety #police #community #partnership #newjersey #cops #tips #CrimeStoppers
