4 Thugs Armed To The Teeth Rob A Barbershop In Broad Daylight in Patterson New Jersey

PATERSON — An afternoon robbery in which four men openly brandished guns in the city's downtown business district on Friday was captured in a video that circulated on social media over the weekend, stunning residents.

Community leaders said the brazenness of the crime — which took place two blocks from the Passaic County Courthouse — seemed unprecedented.

Just after 1:52 p.m., the four gunmen double-parked their silver SUV on Main Street, near the busy intersection with Grand Street, as if they were simply running a quick errand, the video showed. One by one, they hopped out of the vehicle, wearing masks and dressed almost all in black, as a pedestrian and passing motorists continued on their way.
