Camden County Prosecutor Vincent P. Sarubbi and Woodlynne Police Chief John Ragan are asking for the public's help in identifying a man who committed an assault and robbery in Woodlynne, N.J., on March 23, 2004.

At about 2:10 p.m. that day, the suspect entered the Old Farm Market at Ferry and Park avenues and purchased some merchandise. As the female clerk was retrieving change from the register, the suspect pulled a rock from his right coat pocket and struck the woman on the left side of her neck, knocking her to the floor. The suspect then reached over the counter and removed cash from the register drawer. The victim suffered bruises.

The suspect then fled on foot northbound on Hallowell Lane toward the Tamarack Apartments in Camden.

The suspect is described as an African-American male, 20 to 30 years old, approximately 5-foot-8 and 210 to 240 pounds. He was wearing a dark blue hooded nylon jacket with three large white stripes on both sleeves, a black knit hat, light-colored pants and tan Timberland-type boots. Please see photos below.

Anyone with information on the suspect is asked to call Woodlynne Police Detective Bill Moore at (856) 962-8760, ext. 217, or Camden County Prosecutor's Office Senior Investigator Trish Taulane at (856) 225-8400.
