Robbery Attempt

The man suspected of trying to hold up a bank in Brick Township just before midday today also allegedly jumped the counter and assaulted the teller, according to police who are circulating surveillance images to establish his identity.

An alleged overnight robbery attempt and possible shooting in Jackson is under investigation by township and Ocean County law enforcement.

The would-be purse-snatcher who attacked a woman outside the Brick Township Target on July 31 remains a step ahead of the law. Police hope that surveillance video will jar the memory of anyone who might have seen it happen.
