ENGLEWOOD, N.J.—Police are asking for help finding the individual who robbed the Stop & Go Deli & Grocery at 276 Lafayette Place on Jan. 22 at 8 p.m.
A masked suspect was captured on video brandishing a gun as he entered the store. One of the store clerks attempted to grab the weapon from the suspect, who ran from the store—without firing—with a handful of cash he grabbed from the cash register.
“…We urge anyone who may be put in a similar situation NOT to fight with an armed suspect,” Englewood Police Detective Capt. Timothy Torell said, in a statement.
The suspect ran west on Rosemont Place and into a dark-colored vehicle that eventually traveled towards the Teaneck border.
