PARAMUS, NJ – A gas station attendant was robbed at gunpoint on Sunday by a suspect after he had finished filling the man’s gas tank.

Police responded to a BP gas station in Paramus after receiving a report of an armed robbery.

According to police, the gas station employee reported that a male suspect driving a grey or tan color sedan had asked to have his car filled with fuel before the robbery.

“After fueling was complete, the suspect brandished a handgun and proceeded to rob the attendant of over $400 in cash,” the Paramus Police Department said. “Detectives believe the suspect is also involved in several other armed robberies in the Bergen County and Passaic County area.”

Paramus police described the suspect as a male with medium color skin, wearing a mask and dark clothing. The suspect then fled in the vehicle on Route 4.
