Police in North Bergen say two men are facing multiple charges after officers quickly responded to a reported armed robbery attempt at a business along the 6900 block of Kennedy Boulevard on December 23.\u00a0

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The arrests followed a patrol response documented by Police Officer Frank Dubicki Jr., with additional support from members of the department\u2019s Patrol Division and Criminal Investigations Unit, according to a statement released by the department.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Authorities said the investigation began when a business owner flagged down Officer Dubicki in the area of Kennedy Boulevard and reported that two men had entered his establishment armed with a knife and a handgun and attempted to rob him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The victim directed officers to a nearby gas station, where one of the suspects was found seated inside a pickup truck.
\u00a0<\/p>\n

Officer Dubicki ordered the individual, later identified as Carlos J. Hernandez, of Wallington, NJ, to exit the vehicle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hernandez was taken into custody without incident.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

A short time later, the second suspect, Crismar Vasquez, of West New York, NJ, approached the scene on foot and was also detained without incident.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hernandez was initially charged with robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery, unlawful possession of a handgun without a permit, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, certain persons not to possess weapons or ammunition, and openly carrying a handgun.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vasquez was charged with robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery, and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Both men were issued complaint warrants and lodged at the Hudson County Correctional Center.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Detectives from the Criminal Investigations Unit later reviewed surveillance footage and obtained a court-authorized search warrant for the vehicle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

On December 25, Guttenberg Police detectives assisting in the investigation recovered a Ruger Max 9 handgun with a high-capacity magazine, along with hollow-point and full-metal jacket ammunition, and a Mace pepper gun.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Following the recovery of additional evidence, new charges were filed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hernandez was additionally charged with possession of an imitation firearm for unlawful purposes, while Vasquez was charged with unlawful possession of a handgun without a permit, possession of a high-capacity magazine, possession of hollow-point ammunition, violations of firearm regulatory provisions, and certain persons not to possess weapons or ammunition.<\/p>\n
