WATERFORD, Conn — A CVS store in Waterford was robbed Friday afternoon after two alleged thieves used “sleight of hand techniques” to distract the cashier and steal $3,000, police said.
According to Waterford police, the incident took place at the CVS store on Boston Post Road around 3:15 p.m. on March 10. The suspected thieves allegedly distracted and confused the cashier by purchasing gift cards and using "sleight of hands techniques".
"They did this in a neighboring community earlier in the day as well," police said on Facebook.
Police released two photos of the suspects
"Also, in general terms, when we see these professionals at work doing sleight of hand thefts, they travel and are not always local to the area," officers wrote on Facebook. "So sharing this very far and wide is appreciated!
No other information about the incident was immediately available.
Anyone with information that can help identify the suspects can contact Officer Swarr at nswarr@waterfordct.org.
