MERCER COUNTY -- The trooper in an unmarked cruiser circled the parking lot at the New Jersey Turnpike rest stop near exit 7A. He scanned for a black Mercedes van matching the description provided by a 911 caller who reported it carried three armed men, authorities said.

The trooper soon spotted a vehicle resembling the caller’s description, right down to the partial reading of the van’s license plate numbers. Within minutes after it pulled onto the Turnpike, the vehicle was swarmed by State Police troopers with weapons drawn. The occupants were marched out of the van and into handcuffs.
