Police are searching for the man
who claimed to be carrying a
fi rearm during the Dec. 27 robbery
of a Ridgewood eatery.
Authorities say that the unidentified
thief entered Energy Fuel,
a shop at 65-04 Fresh Pond Road
that offers smoothies, sandwiches,
wraps and salads, at approximately
3:30 p.m. on Dec. 27. Once inside, he
approached an employee, claimed
he was carrying a firearm and
demanded money, police said. The
employee went to the back room to
retrieve money, but when he returned,
the man had left the shop
without taking any money or property,
according to authorities.
About 10 minutes later, the man
returned to the store, approached
an employee, claimed he was carrying
a weapon inside of his bag
and demanded money, according to
authorities. The employee complied
and gave the man $500 in cash,
police said. The man then fled the
scene.
No injuries were reported as a
result of the incident, cops said.
Anyone with information in
regard to the identity of this individual
