They found a 21 yearold who happened to be out on the street and they hold him up with the gun. He loses his phone, his wallet, one bucks cash, they take off. Somehow he runs to another place where he can make a call and then the cops get a description of the vehicle. They try to pull this truck over. It stops initially, a to blocks from where i am right now over on front street and then, speeds away from the cops, they get back in their cop car, they lose, the pickup truck but then they see it a to blocks later, not far from the boulevard, abe at front and rockland these three guys abandon it but then they spot 39 guys whom victim gave a description too and in the only did they run from police but one stupidly turns around and shoots at police. They fired one shot. Luckily a bad shot and he missed. Also lucky that he and the police for some reason showed amazing restraint. They dont fire back but they catch these guys without firing a shot, and then nobody would have blame them to shoot back if they did. Police did an excellent job on the freezing cold night not only identifying the vehicle, and chasing, an apprehending all three of these robbery sussex but they showed a whole lieutenant of restraint after getting fired upon, Police Officers for some reason, they did not return fire, maybe they could not get a clear shot but they did a great job.
