MORRISTOWN — Morris County authorities are hunting for a trio of robbers in what they believe was a targeted hit last weekend that reportedly involved a player for the New York Jets.

According to the Morristown Department of Public Safety, at approximately 8 a.m., Morristown police responded to several 911 calls on Saturday, Feb. 15 on reports of an alleged armed robbery in the Windmill Pond section of town.

One witness reported seeing a group of three unidentified males get out of a dark-colored SUV and rob two individuals in another vehicle at gunpoint.

The robbers took money and other valuables, police said. No injuries were reported.
