Dragnet Out for Red Bank Robbery Suspects


by Tom Mongelli

Red Bank Police seek your help in tracking down a pair of suspects in a Wednesday gunpoint street robbery.

Captain Stephen McCarthy says the 21- and 17-year-old victims, both Red Bank residents, reported being approached from behind and held up on Shrewsbury Avenue, at around 12:21 am. They told police that both suspects pressed weapons into their backs, taking cash and a cell phone.

The victims described black males. One is believed to be 20 to 22 years old, about 5'6", thin, with a dark complexion, a beard on the chin line and a corn-row hair style. He wore a red and black ball cap, black shirt, light blue jeans and white tennis sneakers.

The second suspect is believed to be about 19 years of age, six feet in height, thin, with a medium complexion, wearing a small thin beard, close-cropped hair and a black tee-shirt.

Victims told investigators that the pair climbed into a cream-colored four-door sedan that was last seen heading south on Shrewsbury Avenue.

Anyone with information that can help the probe should call Detective Robert Clayton or Investigator Juan Sardo. Reach the Detective Division at 732-530-2719. The Red Bank PD confidential tip line is 732-450-9704.
