The Music & Arts store customer said the robbers took him in their car to his bank and then returned him to the Paramus Town Square on eastbound Route 4 after he pulled the cash from an ATM around noontime July 13, Paramus Police Chief Robert Guidetti said.

The purported victim described the two robbers as black. One was wearing a tan suit while the other was in a t-shirt and shorts, he said.

Detectives are investigating the man's claim, Guidetti said.

ANYONE who might have seen something or has information that could help his investigators is asked to call (201) 262-3400. Callers can remain anonymous.
