Police are asking for the public's help in identifying three males caught by surveillance footage accused of robbing a local diner at gunpoint.

According to police, on Thursday, May 25th, at approximately 9:15 p.m., three armed black males entered the Park Avenue Diner, located at 2002 Park Avenue, South Plainfield.

They approached the front counter demanding cash from the register. After receiving the money they fled out the same rear door to an awaiting getaway vehicle parked on Warren Street, described as a small dark colored SUV, which fled down Murray Avenue in a northerly direction toward the City of Plainfield.
