Lyndhurst Gas Station Robbery

Lyndhurst Police are looking for two men who robbed a local gas station of about $1,000.

Police said the incident took place at 11:20 p.m. on Feb. 9 at the Delta Gas Station on Riverside Ave., just north of Jauncey Ave. off Roosevelt Ave.

Two men entered the station’s convenience store where they ordered the clerk to open the register and turn over the proceeds.

The pair, one of whom displayed a handgun, ordered the clerk to the floor while they searched under the counter for money cash.

Then, the holdup men directed the station attendant, who was in the store at the time, to give them his money.

Both bandits then left the store and sped away in a silver vehicle north on Riverside Ave.

Neither the attendant nor the clerk was physically harmed, police said.

Police described the man with the gun as dark-skinned, medium build, between 5-feet-10 and 6 feet, wearing a black jacket, checked shirt, blue jeans, black gloves, black half-mask and winter fur hat with side flaps.

The other man was listed as dark-skinned, heavy build, between 5-feet-10 and 6 feet, wearing a gray sweatshirt and pants, black gloves, black mask and black winter skull cap.

Police said they are reviewing the store’s surveillance video as they continue their investigation. – Ron Leir
