Police Attempt to ID Man Accused of Stealing Cigarettes from Milford Gas Station

Milford Police are attempting to identify a man who they say is seen in surveillance footage burglarizing a gas station on Sunday.

Officers responded to a burglary alarm at the Mobil Gas Station on Bridgeport Avenue around 2:20 a.m.

When officers arrived, they said they found the front door glass had been ripped off and was lying on the ground outside of the building.

Video surveillance showed a man run quickly into the store carrying a large plastic garbage can.

The man can then be seen loading the garbage can with cigarettes from behind the counter and taking money from the cash register before running out, police said.

According to police, the man is believed to have left the scene in a dark-colored vehicle, possibly a Station Wagon, which was waiting for him on an adajacent street.

Police said the man was wearing a black jacket with the hood over his head, a ski mask, gloves, gray pants and black and white sneakers.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Det. Sgt. J. Cortes at (203) 783-4761 or you can email at jcortes@ci.milford.ct.us.
