UNION TOWNSHIP, N.J., Nov. 26 (UPI) -- Two robbers tied up three employees at a New Jersey Target store and made off with cash before other workers noticed, police said.
The 40-minute robbery occurred late Friday, shortly after the Union Township store closed following its Black Friday sale, The (Newark) Star-Ledger reported.
Union Township Police Lt. Robert Perez said the robbers hid in the store as they waited for it to close, then forced an employee into the cash room at gunpoint.
"They had been in the store for quite some time," Perez said.
The intruders then waited for cash to be brought in, grabbing two other employees who walked in with it, Perez said.
The robbers tied up all three workers in the cash room, took an undisclosed amount of cash, and walked out of the store before any of the other workers realized what happened, Perez said.
The robbery wasn't reported until after the bound employees freed themselves from the cash room, Perez said.
