Robbers Trade Gunfire With Bridgeport Store Workers

Bridgeport police are searching for four men who robbed a local convenience store and traded gunfire with employees Tuesday night.

Surveillance footage from Junco’s 5 Market at 616 William Street in Bridgeport shows four people in dark clothing entering the store around 10:30 p.m. Oct. 7. Police said at least three hand handguns in tow.

Two robbers are seen jumping the counter. One starts to open the cash register and then appears startled, raising his gun and running out of the store.

Video shows the suspects knocking items off the counter and shelves as they flee. Two people who appear to be employees chase after the robbers. At least one is seen holding a handgun.

Three of the suspects were wearing long pants and sweatshirts with the hoods tied tightly over their heads. Two were clad in dark gray or navy blue sweatshirts with black pants. One had baseball cap with a black brim under his hood.

A third was wearing khaki pants with a gray sweatshirt. The fourth is shown wearing a long-sleeved black shirt and black baseball cap with a white logo on the front, along with a black face mask and black pants.
