Police Seek Public’s Help Identifying Armed Robbery Suspects

Newark Public Safety Director Fritz G. Fragé requests the public’s help identifying the suspects pictured below, who robbed a victim at knife-point on July 12, 2024.
 
The incident occurred at approximately 5:50 a.m. in the 300 block of Lafayette when two Black males approached the victim. One of the men, wearing dark clothing and a beard, pulled out a knife and began fighting with the victim.  The other suspect grabbed the victim’s leg and both men rifled through his pockets taking a cell phone and wallet. They fled in an unknown direction but were captured on surveillance video near Ferry and Polk Streets minutes before the robbery.
 
Director Fragé urges anyone with information about the suspect’s identity 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 confidential and could result in a reward. Anonymous tips may also be made using the Police Division’s website at: https://npd.newarkpublicsafety.orgNewark Police Division.
