The suspects in the fatal carjacking on Sunday last week, in which Dustin Friedland was killed at The Mall, Short Hills, were arrested in a series of raids overnight.
Three of the men were arrested in their homes in New Jersey and the fourth was arrested in a Pennsylvania hotel, between 9pm on Friday and 3am Saturday.
The suspects were identified as Hanif Thompson, 29, Karif Ford, 31, Basim Henry, 32, and Kevin Roberts, 33.

Tragedy: Friedland and his wife Jamie, who married in 2011, had been looking forward to starting a family together in the near future
Police have not released details of who fired the fatal shot, and said the firearm has not yet been recovered.
The men have been charged with murder, felony murder, carjacking, conspiracy, possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose..
Henry, who was arrested in Pennsylvania, faces a charge of unlawful flight, and all four are being held on $2 million bail each.
Police claimed the four men arrived in a Suburban and, after shooting Mr Friedland two drove away in his Range Rover and two left in the original car.
Mr Friedland, a 30-year-old lawyer from Hoboken, was shot in the head in the mall parking garage after being confronted by two of the carjackers.
Manhunt: The two assailants fled in the 2012 silver Range Rover. It was followed by a speeding green Subaru that authorities said may have been the vehicle that brought the robbers there
The couple’s silver Range Rover was recovered in Newark on Monday morning
It is believed that he had refused to hand over his keys, but police said Saturday they believe it was his car, and not the victim, who was the target of the attack.
The assailants drove off in his silver Range Rover, which was found the next morning in Newark, about 10 miles from Short Hills.
The shooting took place as Mr Friedland and his wife, Jamie Schare Friedland, were ending a shopping trip. Mourners at his funeral on Wednesday said he had just opened the door of his SUV for his wife when he was shot.
At his funeral, his 27-year-widow said: ‘Dustin was the most chivalrous person. He would run to make sure he opened for car door for me. There wasn’t a bag anyone ever carried that Dustin didn’t help with.’
Torn apart: Dustin Friedland, 30, was returning with his wife Jamie to their Range Rover on Sunday night when he was fatally shot
‘He wasn’t here [with us] long enough, but he did so much while he was,’ she said. ‘I was lucky to be with him for his forever.’
The couple met while studying at Syracuse University. Mr Friedland gained a law degree and worked as a project manager for his family’s heat and air conditioning company.
They married in 2011 and had dreamed of starting a family together.
Grieving widow Jamie Schare Friedland buried her husband on Wednesday just days after he was fatally shot in front of her during a carjacking at an upscale New Jersey mall on Sunday

It doesn`t hurt my feelings one bit to hear about another lawyer getting shot – how ever – these guys that did this needed to get a life. They screwed up and did something wrong. they were out of line doing this.
OR/ did the jewish immigration policy in amerika come back to bite them in the ass!
Yep 😆
Finally another jew bites the dust. Looks like 4 buffalo knots will too.
So does this mean the Zionist Jews will allow us to have our guns back to protect ourselves since one of their “chosen ones” died by a gang of men who were obviously criminals and most likely didn’t acquire their guns legally and therefore gun control obviously doesn’t work because this proved that it failed once again?
What? They said, “No?” Well it was worth a shot. (no pun intended)
By the way, was this a “gun free zone” too? Probably.
It absolutely was as you do not get a concealed carry in NJ ever as you need to show the state a “reason” as to why you would need one. Forget having hollow points if they ever allow you to ccw as that is illegal to possess outside the home as well in that state.
