Bergen County<\/a><\/p>\n

By: Richard L. Smith\u00a0<\/p>\n

Two Bronx men have been arrested in connection with an armed robbery outside a Saddle Brook business after a months-long investigation, Bergen County authorities announced.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella, 27-year-old Ronny Moquete Rosario and 26-year-old Jacob Rodriguez, both of the Bronx, were taken into custody in New York on September 23.
\u00a0<\/p>\n

The investigation began after Saddle Brook Police responded to a business on Lanza Avenue at approximately 6:51 a.m. on June 22.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Authorities said the victim had arrived at the establishment and parked nearby. As he exited his vehicle, a masked suspect wearing a black hood allegedly emerged from a white four-door vehicle with dark-tinted windows.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Police said the suspect was armed with a handgun and confronted the victim before taking money, valuables and other personal property.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The suspect then returned to the waiting vehicle, which fled north on Midland Avenue, according to officials.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Detectives from the Bergen County Prosecutor\u2019s Office Special Investigations Squad joined Saddle Brook Police in the investigation and eventually identified the vehicle as a 2018 Acura TLX that authorities said was displaying a bogus temporary New Jersey registration tag.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Investigators subsequently linked the vehicle to Rodriguez and identified Moquete Rosario as an additional suspect in the robbery, officials said.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Both men were charged with first-degree armed robbery, unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and aggravated assault by pointing a firearm.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

With assistance from the FBI\u2019s New York Field Office and the NYPD, Bergen County and Saddle Brook detectives located both men in the Bronx on September 23.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Authorities said Rodriguez and Moquete Rosario were apprehended without incident and placed in NYPD custody. They were being held by New York authorities pending extradition to Bergen County.<\/p>\n
