Hmm, no paywall for me - I never knew Patch used them - here's the text:

MAPLEWOOD, NJ — A Maplewood resident was robbed on Friday night after answering a knock at the door, say police, who are seeking two male suspects.

Police responded at 10:20 p.m. Friday to a Hughes Street residence on a report of a robbery. Police say that they determined that after the person answered her door, "Two males pushed their way inside brandishing a kitchen knife."

The men took cell phones, other electronic devices, and two bags of clothing and personal items, police say.

They described the suspects as:

"Suspect #1 — Black male approximately 25-35 years of age, 5’5” in height, thin build, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with the hood pulled over his head, a ski mask covering his face, and gray pants."

"Suspect #2 – Black male approximately 25-35 years of age, 6’0” in height, heavier build, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with the hood pulled over his head, a ski mask covering his face, and black pants."

All occupants in the home declined medical attention, police say.

They said, "There will be extra patrols assigned to the area, and expect a greater police presence while the investigation continues."

Anyone with information or video footage is asked to contact the police department at 973-762-3400 or email BRodrigues@MaplewoodNJ.gov.
