Hamden Police Make Arrest in Walgreens Armed Robbery

Hamden police have made an arrest in an armed robbery at Walgreens that happened just over two months ago.

Derrell Soulds, 38, of New Haven, is facing multiple charges including robbery.

A man who police identified as Soulds asked a clerk at the Walgreens at 1191 Dixwell Avenue for a carton of cigarettes and then displayed a note that said "Give me all the money or I'll shoot you." He lifted his shirt to show the clerk what looked like a handgun tucked into his pants, police said.

After stealing an undetermined amount of money, the man ran from the store, police said.

Police arrested Stewart on a warrant Tuesday and charged him with first-degree robbery and fifth-degree larceny. He was arraigned in court that day.
