Police are searching for the two men who broke into a Norwalk bagel shop early Saturday morning and tried to pry open the cash register before the store owner hit one of the suspects with a tool used to make bagels.
According to police, the suspects shattered a window at Village Bagels on Westport Avenue overnight Saturday and tried to open the cash register with a knife.
Police said the owner was in back making bagels and confronted the suspects with a wooden tool, hitting one of them and scaring them off.
The suspects got away on Westport Avenue in a red pickup truck. Authorities spotted the truck on I-95 northbound shortly thereafter and chased the suspects into Bridgeport and Fairfield, police said.
The truck was found abandoned on Maple Street in Bridgeport and was brought back to Norwalk as evidence. Police said the suspects got away on foot.
The investigation is ongoing and Norwalk police said they hope to identify the suspects soon.
