AN alleged business robber was no match for a Blue Security’s Armed Response Officer (ARO) who nabbed him while he attempted to flee recently.
Max Naicker, the operations manager for Blue Security, said a foot chase ensued after the suspect allegedly broke into a fast-food eatery on Kenyon Howden Road in Montclair.
“The officer was responding to an alarm activation at the eatery when he noticed the side door was shattered with a large rock while conducting a check. The officer immediately called for backup and chased the suspect, who tried to flee.
