MILFORD, Conn. — Milford police made a third arrest on Monday in connection to the theft of an ATM from Galaxy Fuel on New Haven Avenue in January, according to a Wednesday release.

At 2:58 p.m. on Jan. 30, a vehicle pulled up to the business, and three men exited wearing masks and gloves, police said. They pried the front door open, entered the business and allegedly took the ATM using a cable.

Police said the ATM was valued at $3,000, and the damage was worth around $6,000. After taking over the investigation, the detective bureau identified three suspects and made two arrests prior to this week.
