Police Seek Help Identifying Armed Robbery Suspects
Newark Public Safety Director Fritz G. Fragé requests the public’s help in identifying the below-pictured suspects, who robbed a victim at gunpoint on April 1, 2024.
The armed robbery incident occurred at approximately 1 p.m. in the 100 block of Avon Avenue when the victim thought he was buying a car from a woman he met. As they walked along Avon toward Jeliff Avenue, a man waiting for them instructed the victim to wait for the car at that location. When the victim became suspicious and began to walk away, three male suspects approached him from Pilgrim Baptist Village, an apartment complex.
Suspect #4, a male brandishing a handgun, demanded that the victim give up his personal belongings. The suspects went through his pockets taking several items and ran away through the apartment complex.
Suspect # 1, a Black male, was wearing a black sweatsuit with red and yellow colors.Suspect #2, a light-skinned female, was wearing dark-colored jeans, a black sweater, black glasses, and a grey shirt. Suspect #3, a Black male, was wearing all-black clothing with black and yellow Jordan sneakers. Suspect #4, the male pointing the weapon, was wearing a grey sweatsuit, and a black ski mask.
