Men Charged In 2 Gas Station Robberies, Including In Haddon Twp.

HADDON TOWNSHIP, NJ — Two men have been charged in connection with the armed robberies of two gas stations in Camden County, including one in Haddon Township, authorities announced.

Paul Rogers, 27, and Kamau Bradshaw, 19, both of Camden, have been charged with the robberies of gas stations in Haddon Township and Pennsauken, Acting U.S. Attorney Rachael A. Honig announced.

Authorities say they are the two masked men who used an AR-style rifle to rob a gas station in Pennsauken on Sept. 14. They stole cash and cigarettes, according to documents filed in the case and statements made in court.

One of them wore a gray Nike hooded sweatshirt and scuffed tan work boots, and the other wore a tan hooded sweatshirt with “REACTIVE” printed on the sleeves and striped boxer shorts, authorities said.

Two days later, a robber wearing what appears to be the same grey Nike sweatshirt used an AR-style rifle while robbing a gas station in Haddon Township, authorities said. Authorities believe Rogers was the man who robbed the Haddon Township gas station.

Shortly after each robbery, two people were seen returning to a home in Camden with a large duffle bag, authorities said. On Sept. 17, law enforcement officers executed a federal search warrant at the home.

They said they recovered, among other items, a duffle bag, an AR-style rifle, a grey Nike sweatshirt, scuffed tan work boots, and a tan hooded sweatshirt with “REACTIVE” printed on the sleeves.

Rogers and Bradshaw were both there during the search, and authorities said Bradshaw was wearing striped boxer shorts consistent with those worn by one of the robbers during the Pennsauken robbery.

Rogers and Bradshaw were each charged by complaint with Hobbs Act robbery. They appeared in federal court the same day as the search, and they were detained, authorities said.

They each face a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
