Three people allegedly robbed a Westampton NJ gas station and violently assaulted the gas station attendant. All three suspects are now in custody after police arrested them.
The suspects allegedly committed the theft crime on February 5. According to authorities, two males and one female walked into the Valero gas station located on Burlington-Mount Holly Road in Westampton New Jersey and approached the victim. The suspects reportedly forced the victim to hand over approximately $200 from the store’s cash register and then fled the scene on foot.
After allegedly stealing the money, the suspects reportedly went to a Motel 6 located near the gas station.
Westampton detectives and Burlington City detectives investigated the robbery and eventually identified the three suspects as a 20-year-old Burlington City man, a 25-year-old Burlington City man, and a 23-year-old Camden NJ woman.
All three suspects have been charged with multiple criminal offenses, including robbery and theft of movable property.
