Police investigating after pizza delivery drivers robbed at gunpoint in South Jersey

PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — The owner of a Camden County pizza shop said his drivers were robbed at gunpoint on two separate occasions.

The first incident happened two weeks ago. The second happened on Sunday, Oct. 6 as the employees of Antonino’s Pizza made deliveries at the Autumn Ridge apartment complex in Blackwood.

The store’s owner, Kevin Flaxman, said the armed robber stole several cheesesteaks, a couple of pizzas, wings and about $25.

The store’s owner, Kevin Flaxman, said police believe the thieves used burner phones, so now they’re taking extra precautions.

“We call back all the numbers, make sure somebody answers. If we feel suspicious about an order the police have actually accompanied our drivers on deliveries a couple times,” he told NBC10 .

Gloucester Township police said they are investigating a few other similar incidents involving other restaurants in the area.
