Elizabeth Police are investigating several claims of armed robberies that occurred in the city late last night.
Officers responded to the 400 block of North Broad Street around 11:30 p.m. where two women reported that they were robbed at gun point by two black males possibly armed with silver handguns. The suspects reportedly took cell phones from the women.
A short time later, reports of an armed robbery involving about 8 male suspects (only described as black armed with knives) sent police to the area of Canton and Elmora Ave. where the victim was robbed of personal possessions. Suspects fitting the same description are also wanted for a violent attack (jump) of a victim on Clover Street.
The victim suffered minor injuries.
