Police Investigate Armed Robbery in Norwich

Police are investigating an armed robbery at a convenience store in Norwich early this morning.

Police said a man with a gun held up the clerk of the Xtra-Mart convenience store at 564 West Main Street at 1:10 a.m. on Friday.

The man pulled a gun on the clerk, demanded all the money and left on a red and silver mountain bike toward Dunham Street, police said.

The robber was thin, 5-feet-8 to 6-feet tall and was wearing black pants and a black hooded sweatshirt, with white drawstrings, under a black “puffy” vest, according to a news release from police.

A white cloth or bandana with a gray design was covering most of his face and he wore black gloves with a unique white design covering the palm and finger areas, police said.

No one was injured during the robbery and anyone with information about the case should call the Norwich Police Detective Division at (860) 892-2892. All calls will be kept confidential.
