Trenton
Christmas Day Robbery: Donte Abdullah, 27, was arrested Wednesday in connection with a robbery that happened on December 25. The victim told police he was at a gas station in the 100 block of Calhoun Street around 3:45 a.m. when another male, later identified as Abdullah, pulled into the business. Abdullah then jumped out of his car, opened the victim’s car door, grabbed an iPhone and then punched the driver in the face. Abdullah then climbed back into his own car and fled. Officials say warrants were later issued for Abdullah’s arrest and he was picked up by members of the U.S. Marshals Service. Abdullah is charged with robbery and terroristic threats.
Asleep with Stolen Car and Drugs: Carl Bryant, 20, and a 17-year-old male were arrested Wednesday night after police found them sleeping inside a stolen car with drugs in their possession.

While searching them following their arrest for the stolen car, cops seized 11 decks of heroin and four grams of marijuana. Police also confiscated $378 in cash as suspected drug proceeds. Both of them are charged with receiving stolen property and several drug offenses. Police say the teen was also wanted in connection with an active robbery warrant.
