ROBBERY

Last night, at approximately 5:30 P.M., a 14 year old boy was robbed by two male parties as he walked home from Christopher Columbus Middle School. The victim intially observed the suspects in the parking lot of the school as he was leaving. Unbeknownst to him, the suspects began following him as he walked toward the library and ultimately confronted him on Main Avenue near the intersection of Washington Avenue. After the suspects surrounded the victim, Suspect #1 (see descripition below), persuaded him to hand over all cash and electronic devices on his person. Fearing for his safety, the victim complied and turned over a cellular phone, I-Pod, and cash to the suspects. The suspects subsequently fled the scene (on foot) toward Piaget Avenue.

Suspect # 1 was described as a Hispanic male, approximately 18 years of age, with a thin build and was wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt. Suspect # 2 was described as a Hispainc male, short in height, approximately 20 years of age, with a medium build and was wearing a denim jacket. Suspect # 3 was described as a Hispanic male, approximately 23 years of age, with a medium build, side-burns and was wearng a dark blue sweater.

The incident occurred in view of motorists and pedestrians alike and could have been mistaken for a friendly encounter. The suspects in this incident may be responsible for a robbery that occurred during the first week of December (2011). Anyone who may have witnessed this incident or any other suspicious act occurring in this vicinity, is urged to contact Detective Bermudez of the Clifton Police Juvenile Division at 973-470-5882.
