Two township men were arrested Monday for punching, robbing and threatening to shoot a man inside a Teaneck Road Chinese restaurant, police said.
Officers were called to the Sheng Garden restaurant on Teaneck Road around 5:15 p.m. Sunday for a reported robbery, said Detective Lt. Andrew McGurr. The victim told police he was attacked in the store, but knew one of the assailants.
The pair also entered the victim’s unlocked car parked outside, before fleeing in another car with his iPod and cell phone, McGurr said.
Police identified the attackers as 19-year-old Aaron Edwards and his 23-year-old half-brother Demetrius Jeffers, both of Hirliman Road. McGurr said the victim knew Edwards, who had changed his name from Aaron Qualls.
Both men were being held at the Bergen County Jail on $212,500 bail, with no ten percent option, on charges including terroristic threats, first degree armed robbery and armed burglary.
The victim suffered bruising in the attack, but declined medical attention at the scene, according to police.

Teaneck violence, robberies, etc., have been increasing quite rapidly and it's left me feeling quite uncomfortable. Since moving here in 1990, I've never felt uncomfortable until last year when the two murders happened and also the robberies I've read about in the newspaper. I'm pretty much concerned about all these happenings.

I do agree but in this article it does say the suspect knew the victim so I think this case is a little different then some random person. still concerning but different for me.

It is NOT different! A robbery is a robbery..so with your rationale if someone is killed by someone they know it's also ok because he or she knew him...it is NOT ok...Teaneck is getting worse....

Teaneck is getting this behavior from the neighboring towns of Englewood and Hackensack . These boys were probably just playing around a bit then things got serious. Teaneck police surround the area all the time , for the most Teaneck is under control.

Joy... Get real. It happens constantly. Teaneck is just as bad as Englewood and Hackensack.
