The Welsh Farms convenience store on East Front Street in Red Bank was robbed at gunpoint Sunday evening, the Asbury Park Press reports.
From the report:
Police were called to the store about 5 p.m. A clerk told officers that two men entered the store at separate times. One man brandished a handgun and pointed it at the clerk’s head, while demanding money, police said.
The clerk gave him an undisclosed amount of money and was then instructed to hand over the money from the lottery machine. The clerk then handed over another undisclosed amount of money to the second suspect, who was also armed with a handgun, police said.
The two suspects then fled the area on foot westbound on East Front Street. The clerk was uninjured, police said.
The first suspect was described as a short black male, dark skinned with a thin build, between the ages of 22 and 28 years old. He was wearing black sunglasses and dark clothing.
The second suspect was described as a taller and heavier-set black male, approximately 30 years old. He was wearing a black jacket, possibly fleece with a hood.
