One of the most recent was reported on May 19 — a Monday — at a Garfield Delta station in the 700 block of River Drive. The attendant there told police that an armed robber took $400 to $500 in cash at gunpoint before getting into a dark-colored getaway car.
Exactly a week earlier, a robber pistol-whipped an attendant at the Delta gas station on Cedar Lane in Teaneck. He was described as black, 18 to 25 years old, with a large scar over his right eye (see composite sketch).

On Easter, a gunman took between $400 and $500 from a station in the 300 block of Paterson Avenue in East Rutherford at just after 9:30 p.m.
The attendant told police that the robber and another man fled on foot south on Clinton Place and apparently got into a dark getaway car.
Moments earlier, the attendant said, the gunman — described as black, in his early 20s and clean shaven — approached and asked whether he had change for a $50 bill.
The robber returned with his accomplice shortly after, pointed a gun at him while the other man remained outside and said: “Give me all of your money.”
The attendant said the robber then reached into his right pocket and pulled out $600 to $700 before the pair fled.
Police later stopped two men in a black Chrysler 300. Nothing was found during a patdown, they said.
