Three armed men allegedly stole about $5,000, including about $2,000 in New Jersey Lottery money, from a Teaneck wine and liquor store Friday as the store owner and his brother locked up for the night, Teaneck police say.
Pannabhai D. Grohel, owner of the Jersey Wine and Liquor store at 166 W. Englewood Ave., said he thought the robbers had watched his routine for some time before Friday’s robbery.
After the store closes at 10 p.m., Grohel, 52, said, he and his brother Dhamji, 46, usually spend about 30 minutes stocking the shelves for the next day’s business. The robbers, two of them armed with automatic handguns, entered the store from a side door on Queen Anne Road as the Grohel brothers emerged at 10:35 p.m. on Friday, he said.
“As soon as we opened the door, they pushed the door and they came in,” Grohel said.
The Teaneck police report of the incident, filed by Patrolman Robert Croonquist, said Dhamji Grohel was hit on the head and face with a gun and that the men were taken to Holy Name Hospital for treatment.
