Waterbury Police Search for Robbers

Waterbury police are asking for the public’s help in catching two people who they say robbed two gas stations at gunpoint early Monday morning.

The men first robbed the Sunoco gas station at 1153 S. Main St., then went to the 7-Eleven gas station at 1664 Baldwin St., before taking off, police said.

No one was hurt, but police are hoping the surveillance video from the Sunoco helps them track down the robbers.

The video shows two men walking into the Sunoco just after 4 a.m. on Monday. While one pretends to shop and goes to purchase an item, the other, wearing a ski mask, pulls out a gun and demands cash.

Minutes later, the same two men went to 7-Eleven, police said.

“He said to open the register, so I opened the register and he took the money,” said Ali Haider, who was behind the register. “Then he told me to go to the next register and take out that money too.”

Haider said both of the men were wearing masks at that point, but he recognized their shoes from the other store’s surveillance video. The men pushed him with a gun before demanding he hand over his cell phone too, he said.

Police are now putting out a description of the robbers, along with the surveillance video and ask anyone who might be able to help with the investigation to come forward.

Anyone with information should call 203-755-1234.
