The armed robbery was reported around 6 p.m. Monday at the Rite Aid on Burnt Tavern Road
BRICK -- Brick police are looking for three "armed and dangerous" men they say robbed a Rite Aid pharmacy at gunpoint Sunday.
The armed robbery was reported around 6 p.m. at the pharmacy at 1041 Burnt Tavern Road.
Police said that one man armed with a silver and black handgun disabled the automatic door and kept watch of a store associate and several customers, while the other two continued to the pharmacy in the back of the store.
One of the two had a black handgun and jumped over the pharmacy counter and demanded several types of prescription drugs, police said.
The medications were turned over and loaded into a backpack. The duo then ran to the front of the store. The man who had been keeping watch reactivated the door before all three fled on foot toward Red Maple Drive, police said.
Police believe they may have entered a small black or blue SUV that headed eastbound on Van Zile Road toward Route 70. It is described as a Toyota or Mazda with no visible front plate.
The first man is described as black, about 6 feet tall, 170 to 190 pounds, 20 to 30 years old with a full beard and mustache, wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, dark shorts, white sneakers and in possession of a silver and black semi-automatic handgun.
The second man is described as black, about 5-foot-8, 150 to 170 pounds, 20 to 30 years old, wearing gray sweatpants, a black jacket, white sneakers, a white hat with a black Adidas symbol, a dark-colored backpack and in possession of a black semi-automatic handgun.
The third man is described as black, about 5-foot-9, 150 to 170 pounds, 20 to 30 years old, clean-shaven, wearing a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt and blue sweatpants with a double white stripe.
Anyone who is able to identify the suspects is asked to contact Detective Joseph Leskowski at 732-262-1121 or 732-262-1100.
