The white suspect was wearing a tan jacket when he entered Mahwah Pizza & Pasta on MacArthur Boulevard shortly after 3 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 1, Mayor Jim Wysocki said.

He demanded money from the register and threatened to shoot the employees several times, witnesses said.

He didn't show a weapon, however.

With no leverage, the would-be Dillinger had little choice but to leave.

Witnesses said he fled in a silver Jeep Patriot.

ANYONE who might have witnessed the incident, seen the suspect or has information that could help police identify and/or find him is asked to call Mahwah police: (201) 529-1000.
