Robbers Lock Two Workers in Freezer at Woodbridge Taco Bell

Two suspects, dressed in dark hoodies and brandishing a silver gun, surprised two workers making a 3 am delivery at Taco Bell in Woodbridge early Wednesday morning.

Woodbridge Police Captain Roy Hoppock said the suspects assailed the delivery workers as they were making an early morning drop off of supplies to the fast food restaurant, located in the ShopRite shopping center on St. Georges Avenue.

The workers had arrived and were unloading their supplies from the truck when one of the employees was approached by a suspect who waved a silver revolver in his face and said, "This is a robbery."

The assailant ordered both victims into the freezer and locked the door behind them. 

Hoppock said, "It appears nothing was taken, or they couldn't find anything" during the heist.

The two workers called police about 3:30 am from inside the freezer. Police arrived and released the victims.

One of the suspects was described as a black male, approximately six feet tall with a slender build, wearing a blue-hooded sweatshirt. The other suspect was wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt. It's unknown if the suspects arrived on foot or by car. No further description was available.
