It was shortly before 5:30 a.m. Easter Sunday when a gunman entered the Shell station on the northbound highway and pretended to be interested in a phone charger, police said.
He then pulled a gun on the two middle-aged store clerks, had them get down on the floor, then took more than $2,000 in cash from the register, they said.
The victims, who weren't injured, described the robber as dark-skinned, wearing a hooded jacket and facemask, both black, with white-striped black pants and white sneakers.
Shortly after 2 a.m. Monday, a 33-year-old North Bergen driver told police he parked his 2020 Range Rover SVR by a gas pump and went into the convenience store at the BP station up the road on the southbound side near the Route 3 extension.
A gunman who'd been dropped off by another driver walked in, demanded his keys, then fled in the Range Rover, police said.
The victim described the robber as dark-skinned and wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, gray sweatpants, and a facemask.
ANYONE who might have witnessed either robbery is asked to contact North Bergen police at tips@northbergenpd.com. All communications will be kept confidential for those who want to remain anonymous, authorities said.
