Armed Robbery Reported At Clark Quick Chek

CLARK, NJ — An armed robbery was reported at the Quick Chek on Westfield Avenue in Clark on Sunday.

Around 3 p.m., a black man dressed in black with a mask and armed with a handgun robbed the convenience store of an undisclosed amount of cash, Clark Police Chief Pedro Matos said.

The suspect ran away on Westfield Avenue towards Rahway. However, a Clark Police Officer searching the area found a white Honda Accord that was believed to be involved in an armed robbery that occurred in town in November at the Exxon on Westfield Avenue, according to Matos.

The car reportedly sped off and police chased it on the Garden State Parkway until Union due to road conditions and excessive speeds, according to Matos.

Anyone with information should contact the Clark Police Department at 732-388-3434.
