WOODBURY -- A Gloucester County grand jury has indicted two men in a West Deptford gas station robbery.

Malcom D. Tyson, 23, of Paulsboro, and Zachary T. Applegarth, 20, of Malaga, are accused of conspiring to rob a Citgo station on Aug. 13.

Applegarth allegedly drove Tyson to the gas station and Tyson committed the robbery, authorities said.

Tyson pulled a handgun and threatened employees before making off with an undisclosed amount of cash, according to a complaint signed in the case.

Tyson fled in the vehicle driven by Applegarth, police said.

While Applegarth was indicted only on the conspiracy charge, Tyson was also indicted on charges including first-degree attempted robbery, first-degree robbery, theft by unlawful taking, aggravated assault, terroristic threats and unlawful possession of a weapon.
