3 Arrested In Connection With Knifepoint Robbery: Bergen County Prosecutor

SADDLE BROOK, NJ — After a months-long investigation, police have arrested three men in connection with a knifepoint robbery in March in Saddle Brook, Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella said.

Karina Eremyan, 31, of Fair Lawn; Allen Ernst, 28, of Garfield; and Antonio Bowen, 28, who is lodged in the Morris County Jail, were each charged with armed robbery, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and unlawful possession of a weapon.

The charges stem from an incident that occurred around 3:30 a.m. on March 23, when a man reported he was robbed by an Uber driver in the parking lot of 50 Kenny Place in Saddle Brook. One of the defendants, Eremyan, was driving the vehicle, the prosecutor's office said.

Bowen, the prosecutor's office said, was the actor who held a knife to the victim's neck demanding he hand over his backpack, which contained $3,000 and other items. Bowen then fled in another vehicle that Ernst was driving.

Shortly after the robbery, the victim was able to escape by running away, the prosecutor's office said.

Ernst and Eremyan were each arrested without incident, and remanded to the Bergen County Jail pending detention hearings. Bowen was served with his charges at Morris County Jail, where he remains, the prosecutor's office said.
