Toll Booths Robbed at Gunpoint

State troopers are looking for two men who robbed two Garden State Parkway toll booths

State troopers are looking for two men who robbed two Garden State Parkway toll booths at gunpoint Friday.

Lt. Stephen Jones says a silver Chrysler with four men pulled into the Union Toll Plaza in Hillside around 5 a.m. Two men got out of the backseat. Jones says one held up the toll collector in Lane 7 while the other held up the collector in Lane 4.

Jones says both men were armed and wore masks to hide their identities. No one was injured.

Jones says the license plate was stolen from another vehicle.

Jones would not say how much money was taken. The lieutenant says such heists are rare and usually are not fruitful.

Anyone with information is asked to call state police at 973-338-1370.
