Anyone with information urged to call authorities
NEWARK -- Public Safety Director Anthony Ambrose this week asked for the public's help to identify suspects in separate investigations of a gunpoint robbery and store burglary.
Police released a photo showing the man they said is wanted for robbing a city resident at gunpoint around 6 a.m. on June 3 near Synott Place.
In another case, authorities said they trying to identify the men caught on camera burglarizing a grocery store on the 100 block of Tremont Avenue around midnight. Police released security camera images of the men.
