HARTFORD, Conn. — Connecticut State Police are investigating a string of robberies happening at rest stops in the southern portion of the state.
The most recent robbery happening Sunday morning in Branford.
It started Saturday morning when troopers were called to two different robberies at two different rest stops. Both inside Alltown convenience stores, one in Fairfield and one in Darien.
Police say the man seen in surveillance images, first went to the candy aisle, then to the register, handed over the candy to pay for it and when the register opened, he showed a firearm and allegedly robbed the cashier.
Then Sunday morning a similar robbery at a convenience store in Branford.
