Police Search for Armed and Home Robbery Suspects

One suspect has been caught while the other, and the handgun, has yet to be.

  Police are still working to identify a second subject involved in an armed robbery in Palmyra.  Police already arrested 41-year-old Lloyd Howard, of Palmyra, and charged him with robbery, aggravated assault and theft. Palmyra Police said a subject was robbed at gunpoint around 11:30 p.m., Jan. 23, near West Fifth Street and Delaware Avenue.

The crime stops when the criminals realize that they might just get shot when they try to rob someone. Unfortunately the laws in NJ prohibit ordinary (read: non-politically-connected) people from carrying a firearm for self-defense. The criminals know this, and obviously don't follow that law. So they are free to use firearms to rob those of us who do follow the law.   more ›

Clerk Duct Taped, Robbed at Gunpoint at Moorestown 7-Eleven

Police are searching for four men who robbed the store early Friday. They stole $400 from the clerk after an unsuccessful attempt to make off with the ATM.

Four men, at least two of them armed with handguns, walked into the Chester Avenue 7-Eleven early Friday, duct taped the clerk and tried to steal the ATM machine. At approximately 4:02 a.m., two men wearing ski masks, dark hoodies and gloves entered the store and ordered the clerk behind the counter to the freezer at the back of the store at gunpoint, Moorestown Police said. The robbers wrapped duct tape around the clerk’s arms and legs and stood with him while two more men, similarly dressed, rolled a hand truck into the store and attempted to steal the ATM. They failed to steal the machine, police said, instead taking the clerk’s wallet, which had $400 in it. The suspects left through the back door. No vehicle was seen. The clerk was …

Wow, I can't believe the 7-11 got robbed in Moorestown. Big city problems and crime is coming to small towns in South Jersey. I am glad the robbers didn't shoot or hurt the clerk in any way.   more ›
