YOU READ IT HERE FIRST: A second man charged in the robbery of two Fairview juveniles last week was being held on $100,000 bail in the Bergen County Jail, the same as his alleged accomplice, following his arrest over the weekend.
The two teens told police that both men approached them on Anderson Avenue early last Tuesday night, pushed them into an alley and took an iPhone and $220 in cash.
One of them — later identified as Majk Selimi, 18, of Cliffside Park (above, right) –took out a gun and pointed to his stomach during the holdup, then put it away and pulled a knife, the victims said.
The pair then walked the teens to a bus stop, forced them on to a bus and threatened to kill them if they told anyone, Detective Capt. Martin Kahn told CLIFFVIEW PILOT.
The victims then went to police headquarters.
Detectives reviewed area surveillance video that showed the robbers walking the teens to the bus stop, Kahn said.
One of the juveniles identified both — one of whom was a neighbor’s friend, he said.
Fairview police arrested Selimi a short time after the holdup. He was charged with robbery, various gun possession counts and theft.
An arrest warrant was issued for the second man, identified as Miguel Rapalo, also 18 (above, left), who was subsequently arrested late Friday/early Saturday. He’s charged with three weapons counts, robbery, resisting arrest and theft.
