Robbery

Near Mall Dr W, Jersey City, NJ 07310

He stopped the car. Two males got into the backseat, acting for money. When he says he doesn't have any, they punched him in his face, then ran. If you don't find the patrol supervisor, and then they see, please. He's sergeant. The sergeant I received that. There's a victim of any injuries. And between the ID the individuals. He said yes, he would be able to ID them. He has a dash cam, but it only is audio. He has a slight bruise under his left eye. Notice, please. Detective Sergeant, Channel 3. And do you think, my apologies, that was NG, go again. Because I'm going to have the Eastuco. One. All right, let's give you a little update. We're over on the corner of 6th Street, and I believe it's Newport Mall Drive West. We've got what appears to be two cash registers. Not too much money. We've just got some fair change. And then there's some receipts of a store that is from the mall called A dollar. Security went to go check over there and just seems to be secure from the outside. You might have given a heads up to the supervisor. I might want to start DCI out here too. Excuse. That's for the one car's call. That's for the one car, 30-mall drive east. It was two males seen running out of the mall with registered lockboxes. It was found outside the JCPenny. All right, do we have any cameras in that area? It is the mall security able to access the corridor entrance to that to that score. Can we find out from the attic? Also, can we notify them? See about that as well. And, yeah, start up to see that for that, please. Just another update. This might be one in the same with the two cars call. It's got the same script for that criminal attempt to robbery. That's what? Yeah, I got 30 off, Lexington as blocked driveway. Grey Toyota, 30 Alpha Lexington. Detective. DCI, Channel 3. Detective Sergeant, BCI, Channel 3. And you see I have the East 2 car on 6th and Marin Boulevard. There's a mail there, his vehicle who was assaulted. The two males went back, he asked him for money, and he didn't have it. Next, a punched him in the face and ran. Get flight bruised on his left eye and the victim has a dash cam only with the audio. Nothing was seeking. I received that. However, were any passengers in the vehicle? No, they were not. He was stopped at a tough time when they just got in. Right, so randomly they just jumped into the backseat of the quad they didn't try to take the park, correct? Okay, so they did not. They did not. They just demand you. All right, we see vis-a-vis. I'm going to the hospital.
