Carjacking Investigated At Clinton Crossing Outlets: Police

CLINTON, CT — A vehicle was stolen during a carjacking last week at the Clinton Crossing Premium Outlets, according to police.

Clinton police responded to the outlets at 20 Killingworth Turnpike around 12:30 a.m. on Aug. 19 on the report of an armed robbery/carjacking, according to Corporal Spencer Mangs.

Mangs said the outlets were closed to the public at the time and the two victims were store employees who were working later hours restocking inventory for Sales Tax Free Week. The carjacking happened as the employees were about to leave the premises for the night, according to Mangs.

The unidentified carjacker took one vehicle during the robbery. The two victims weren’t injured, Mangs said. He didn’t specify what weapon was used or implied during the robbery.

“This was an isolated incident for the Town of Clinton and there are no remaining threats to the public,” Mangs wrote in a news release. “The Clinton Police Department is working diligently to identify and apprehend the suspect.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Sergeant Pellegrini at 860-669-0451.
