Police Searching for Two Men Involved in Queen Street Robbery
Officers said the two men entered the 7-Eleven Store on Queen Street in Southington and went behind the counter, taking money from two drawers before fleeing.
Southington police are seeking help in identifying two men who robbed the 7-Eleven convenience store along Queen Street over the weekend before fleeing with a little over $100 in cash.
Sgt. Jeffrey Dobratz said Monday that the two men, shown in the surveillance photos above, entered the 777 Queen St. store around 3:15 a.m. Saturday morning. One man went behind the counter and forced the clerk to open the register, taking cash while the second suspect looked on.
“The suspects obtained more money from a second cash register drawer in the same manner,” Dobratz said. “The suspects never implied or showed a weapon to the store clerk. The suspects obtained approximately $109 in cash.”
