Police Search for Would-Be KFC Robbers

Police are searching for the men who were caught on camera trying to rob a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant in Bridgeport over the weekend.

Surveillance footage shows two men wearing hooded sweatshirts walking into the store on Boston Avenue around 9:10 p.m. Police said one suspect pulled out a gun, and a store employee ran into the back office and called 911.

The would-be robbers tried to open the cash register but left without taking any money, according to police.

Both are described as tall and slim. Police said the men were both wearing black hooded sweatshirts and black-and-white sneakers. One had on sweatpants and was armed with a handgun. The other was carrying a military-style backpack.

Anyone with information about the robbery is urged to call Bridgeport police Det. Jason Ferri at 203-581-5232.
