There were two robberies in the twin boros of Somerville and Raritan NJ ---- both at Commerce Banks. The theory is that the "homey" feel and friendly environment is also an inducement to stick-up men. It turns out the guy who did the two heists here in NJ had some drug problem. He'd lose a layer of clothes right after he pulled off the deed, but forgot that surveillance cameras catch more than what the suspect is wearing.</p>
