Police are investigating a robbery at a Hamden pizza shop after two men stole liquor from an office and attempted to hit the shop owner with a bottle.
Police responded to Slyce Pizza, at 141 Arch Street, around 11 p.m. on Wednesday to investigate a complaint and the pizza shop owner relayed what happened.
He said two men, between 20 and 25 years old, came into the shop through an unlocked back screen and stole two bottles of liquor from his office.
When the owner tried to grab one of the men, it led to a struggle and one of the robbers tried to hit him with a liquor bottle, police said.
One of the robbers was wearing a red cap with a dark shirt and the other was shorter and wearing a Chicago White Sox baseball cap and black T-shirt, police said.
Police said both men ran north on Fairview Avenue and the owner of the pizza shop was not injured.
Police are investigating.
