Police Release Sketch of Papa John's Robber

Police released Friday a sketch of the man who robbed at gunpoint earlier this week.

The shortly after the pizzeria opened at 11 a.m.

In just a little over a minute, Caldwell Police Det. Sgt. Anthony Marta said the man entered the restaurant at 455 Bloomfield Avenue, told the two employees inside to "get on the ground" and demanded cash out of the register and safe under the counter.

The robber made out with approximately $300 in cash, as well as a cell phone belonging to one of the employees, Marta said.

The employees said the man was wearing dark clothing with black sunglasses and a black cloth over his face. They said he was about 6-foot-two, slim and light-skinned.

The man is believed to have fled on foot, heading north on Central Avenue. Police spent several hours searching back yards in the area after the robbery, telling residents to remain inside and be cautious.
