Police have arrested three Stamford teens who are accused of robbing people at gunpoint, assaulting them and trying to steal their car in the underground parking lot of Target in Trumbull on Sunday.
Police responded to Target on Hawley Lane Target in Trumbull around 5 p.m. to investigate a robbery in the underground parking garage.
The victims told police that they were sitting in their vehicle when an Infiniti parked nearby and the driver waved a gun and approached the victim’s car. Then he opened the back passenger door, sprayed pepper spray and stole a bag containing clothing and an Xbox, police said.
Another suspect then opened the victim’s back door and sprayed pepper spray as he yelled, "give me everything." Another suspect who was wearing ski goggles was hitting the victim’s car with "a stick like a police baton," causing heavy damage, police said.
