Police Seek Armed Robbery Suspect

The suspect, who might also have been involved in a robbery in Vernon, was described as a white male in a two-piece jumpsuit wearing a black ski mask.

Manchester Police are searching for an unidentified man who they say robbed the Citgo at 555 West Middle Turnpike at gunpoint Tuesday night. 

According to police, a white male wearing a two-piece jump suit and a black ski mask entered the store at approximately 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, showed the teller what appeared to be a handgun and demanded money. 

Police said the robbery is similar to incidents that have occurred recently in Vernon and East Hartford, so Manchester police are working in conjunction with those agencies on the case.
