An employee tried to stop the thief and was assaulted just before 5 p.m. Friday in the parking lot at the MacArthur Ridge Plaza on Ridge Road -- making it a strong-arm robbery, they said.
He then drove off in a silver Honda sedan bearing a PA license plate that police said didn't belong to the vehicle.
The employee wasn't injured.
Police who reviewed store video said the incident bore similarities to a crime also committed on Friday in Teaneck.
ANYONE who might have witnessed the incident or has video or other information that could help find the robber is asked to call Mahwah PD: (201) 529-1000. You can remain anonymous.
