Police: Pair Stole More Than $10,000 From New Brunswick Restaurant

New Brunswick police are searching for two people who they say stole more than $10,000 from an Easton Avenue eatery last week.

Police released surveillance photos of the pair and the vehicle in which they were traveling.

According to a news release from Capt. J.T. Miller:

Early in the morning on May 27, the pair went to “Hansel n Griddle,” at 130 Easton Ave.

Video surveillance footage shows the two males get out of a car that appears to be a white Nissan Altima or a similar type of vehicle.

About ten minutes later, one of them used a pry bar to get into the side door of the restaurant.

Then they pried open the cash register drawer and stole a safe from the office. One of the males carried the safe out of the restaurant, and both were picked up by the same white car, near Easton Avenue and Mine Street.

Both were described as black males, who wore masks and gloves when they went inside the restaurant.

One was of average height with a thin build. He wore white sneakers with black trim, black baggy cargo pants, a white belt, blue sweatshirt, white work gloves, and a black hat or ski mask.

The second male was shorter and stockier than the first. He wore black sneakers with white trim, a gray sweatshirt with black sleeves and hood and an insignia on the chest, and a light colored mask.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Detective Brandon Epstein at (732) 745-5217.
