Brick police investigate robberies of food deliverymen
The Brick police department is investigating the robberies of two food deliverymen which may be connected. The robberies of food deliverymen took place about five miles apart and occurred within 3.5 hours of each other Friday night. One deliveryman was delivering pizza and the other Chinese food. The first incident occurred around 7:39 p.m. Friday night when a deliverman from China Express was getting back into his vehicle and was confronted by the perpetrator. The suspect, who was wearing a red Halloween mask, demanded money and threatened to shoot the deliveryman. The suspect did not display a weapon.
The second robbery took place around 11 p.m. and involved a pizza delivery man from Pizza Express. This victim also was confronted upon returning to his vehicle, this time by a white male wearing a blue ski mask. Both perpetrators were wearing a black hooded sweatshirt. Again, the suspect threatened to shoot the victim but not did display a weapon.
Police are investigating these two robberies. Anyone with information should call Detective Burgess at 732-262-1120.
