DEVELOPING: Armed Men Conduct Robberies in Newark's East Ward

Newark

Police are looking for two suspects who conducted robberies in the city's East Ward this morning. 

According to police, at approximately 10 a.m., black male suspects occupying a white Mercedes Benz pulled up in the 70's block of McWhorter. They robbed the victim of personal possessions before fleeing the scene.

The vehicle has a NJ license plate number "E29-MKR" that was stolen out of Irvington with the keys inside.

A short time later, police learned the same suspect pulled a gun on the victim on Lafayette and McCarter Highway then took personal possessions. 

Police believe that a blue Ford Expedition chased the suspects. 

At approximately 10:30 a.m., the suspects robbed a woman at gunpoint on Union Street and took her personal belongings. 

The assailants are wanted for multiple other robberies citywide and a stabbing on McCarter Highway.
