Taxi robbery: Robbery
At approximately 2200 hrs on Saturday night, 10/19/19, Officers were called to the area of Herborn Avenue and North Gate Rd. where Mantoloking Taxi driver Heather Buckles was left stranded in her taxi.
According to Buckles, she had recently picked up a fare nearby at the corner of Stephen Rd. and Lark Ln. The patron, described as a black male, approximately 25-35 years old, about 5’8” and 5’10,” with facial hair and a medium build, who was wearing dark clothing and a puffy jacket asked her to transport him to the WaWa on Newtons Corner Rd. in the Ramtown section of Howell. While en route, the suspect, who was in the back seat, asked Buckles to pull over because he wanted to pick up a friend. Once she stopped, the suspect grabbed Buckles from behind and held what she felt to be a knife to her throat and demanded her money and the car keys. Once Buckles handed over her money and her keys, the suspect then fled the taxi on foot.
Howell Police were contacted due to the proximity of the robbery to their township. The Herborn/North Gate intersection is right at the border of Howell Twp. and Brick Twp. Howell K-9 Officer Poznanski conducted a K-9 track. The destination of the track is undisclosed at this time as investigation is ongoing.
Brick Detective Greg Mullarkey responded to the scene along with ID Detective Brian Lash. Investigative personnel are developing and following several leads at this time.
Anyone with information related to this is asked to please contact Detective Sgt. James Burgess at 732-262-1116.

Jennifer Caroccia- Scranton
Tom Stone I’m sure you saw this
That is what happens when Lakewood is flushed out
Maybe the guy who did the drive- by ??♀️??♀️??♀️??♀️??♀️??♀️?
He needed money to put away for his child’s college education.
And people wonder why people are leaving NJ
Phil Murphy’s sanctuary state at it’s best. He has ruined this state
And that’s why every taxi should have a cage or plastic barrier for the safety of the drivers brick is getting scary
I don’t know how things are now, but drivers have asked for that years ago. Owners did not want to shell out for them.
Brick is really going down hill, no longer can it say it is the safest place.
