Police: Man Hops In Uber After Robbing NJ Dunkin' Donuts
BRENTWOOD, N.J. (CBSNewYork) -- An Uber driver in New Jersey ended up being a getaway driver after a Dunkin' Donuts robbery Sunday night.
The robbery happened around 9:30 p.m. at the Dunkin' Donuts on Suffolk Avenue in Brentwood.
Suffolk County police say 57-year-old Andrew Sandson walked into the store and handed a note to an employee at the counter. According to police, the note said Sandson had a gun and instructed the employee to give him cash.
The employee gave Sandson money from the cash register, and Sandson walked out of the store, got into a car and left. Sandson did not display a gun during the robbery.
Police say a customer in the store wrote down the car's license plate number, which was then traced to an Uber that had dropped Sandson off at his home on Grant Avenue.
