Police Investigate Willimantic Store Robbery

Police are investigating a convenience store robbery that happened Saturday night in Willimantic.

A man entered the Sun Mart convenience store at 1242 Main Street, implied that he had a gun and stole money from the cash register, police said. Officers responded to the scene at about 9:20 p.m. after receiving a 911 call from the store.

The robber didn't display a weapon and ran from the scene with an undetermined about of cash.

The store clerk was not injured in the incident.

Police said the robber is described as being about 5-foot-11 and he was wearing a dark ski mask and black shirt during the robbery.

The robbery happened just a day after an armed robbery at a Cumberland Farms convenience store on Main Street Friday. It is unknown whether the two robberies are connected, but police are still looking for the person responsible for the other robbery.

Willimantic Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division is investigating the store robbery and asks anyone with information to contact the department at 860-465-3135. Calls will be kept confidential, police said.
