A man with a gun robbed a Valero gas station in North Haven on Wednesday night and police have released surveillance footage in the hopes that it will help identify the robber.
An attendant of the Valero Gas Station, at 414 State St., in North Haven called 911 at 8:56 p.m. and said he’s just been robbed at gunpoint.
The man said he’d been mopping the floor when a man came in, pointed a black gun at the employee and forced him around the cashier’s desk, then told him to open the safe. When the robber saw it was empty, he told the clerk to open the register.
The robber took between $500 and $600 from the register and fled out the front door, then ran on State Street toward Hamden, police said.
He is 20 to 25-years-old and between 5-feet-3 and 5-feet-4 and was wearing a two-piece white jumpsuit with a black ski mask over his face.
Anyone with information about the armed robbery should call the North Haven Police Department’s Investigative Services Division at 203-239-1616.
