New Jersey police have asked for information about five individuals who kidnapped and assaulted a waitress after she chased them down for skipping out on a $70 check

Washington Township Police reported that the waitress, a 20-year-old who works at the Nifty Fifty’s diner, ran out chasing the group around 11:15 p.m. 

The waitress tried to stop them, but the group instead pulled her into a white Dodge Durango and drove off.

"They pulled her into the vehicle and assaulted her inside the vehicle," Washington Township Police Chief Patrick Gurcsik told WPVI. "The vehicle headed north on Route 42, made a U-turn and was heading south towards Monroe Township, and pushed her out of the vehicle."

Police have urged restaurant employees to mark down the license plate of any customers who try to dine and dash instead of trying to confront them.

"Do not chase after accused suspects and confront them yourselves," Gurcsik said.
