Resume:

State troopers arrested a 22 year-old New Jersey man for his involvement in an April 2009 jewelry store robbery.

Troopers arrested Mencia today after he was already incarcerated for a bank robbery which occurred on August 31, 2009. The bank robbery occurred at the Artisan’s Bank located at 1124 Pulaski Hwy, Bear.

Mencia allegedly entered Khalsa Jewelers back in April under the ruse of being a customer. He displayed a revolver and forced an employee to empty jewelry valued over $160,000 into a rolling suitcase. He then forced the employee into the bathroom and fled the store. Evidence found at the scene implicated Mencia in the crime. He was charged with Robbery 1st, Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony and Aggravated Menacing. Bail was set at $166,500.00 secured.

No one was injured in the jewelry store robbery.
