Windsor Locks police seek armed robber

Windsor Locks police said Monday they are looking for an armed robber who stole cash and cigarettes from a convenience store early Saturday.

The man entered the Valero Fas mart at 245 Ella Grasso Boulevard at about 12:30 a.m. and asked the clerk for cigarettes, Det. Sgt. Jeff Lampson said. The man then pulled out a black pistol and demanded money.

The clerk handed over $300 and two packs of Newports and the man fled, possibly in a silver, “Honda-type” sedan, Lampson said.
