Police: Victim Shrink Wrapped To Chair During Armed Robbery In Garfield

GARFIELD, N.J. (CBSNewYork) -- Police are looking for two men who they said pistol whipped and then shrink wrapped an auto mechanic worker to a chair during a robbery in New Jersey earlier this month.

It happened back on Jan. 11 at a garage on Passaic Street and Cambridge Avenue in Garfield.

Police said the victim was working when he was approached by two men who were wearing dark-colored winter hats, hooded sweatshirts and bubble jackets.

One of the suspects pulled out a gun and pointed it at the victim before striking him in the face with it, police said. They then bound him to a chair with shrink wrap and took cash from his pocket before running off, according to police.

The victim suffered minor injuries.

Authorities have released a sketch of one of the suspects.
