Police Seek Public’s Help Identifying Armed Robbery Suspects and Locating Vehicle
Newark Public Safety Director Fritz G. Fragé requests the public’s help with identifying two armed male suspects, who used the below-pictured vehicle to rob a commercial business of $12,000 on January 31, 2024.
Police responded to the incident, which occurred at approximately 6:10 a.m. at World Grease LLC, a professional used cooking oil and recycling company located at 16 Libella Court. Two suspects, brandishing weapons, exited the vehicle pictured below while an employee was about to open the business. One of the suspects grabbed the employee and demanded money as he pointed the weapon, forcing the worker into an office where the $12,000 was taken.
Both suspects entered the get-away vehicle, a blue 4-door Honda, and fled south on Libella Court. One of the suspects was wearing black clothing and a ski mask, and the other suspect was wearing a blue jacket, blue jeans, and a ski mask.
Director Fragé urges anyone with information about the suspects and vehicle to call the Police Division’s 24-hour Crime Stopper tip line at 1-877-NWK-TIPS (1-877-695-8477).
