Troopers responded to an armed robbery at about 6:50 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 17 on the Garden State Parkway south, Colonia Service Area – Shell Gas Station in Woodbridge Township, according to Detective I Jeffrey Lebron, a New Jersey State Police spokesman.

The driver stole the victim’s phone and approximately $500 in cash, he said.

All suspects entered the vehicle and fled from the scene southbound on the Garden State Parkway, he said.
