2nd Suspect In Walgreens Robbery Arrested By Darien Police

DARIEN, CT — The second suspect in a February robbery at a Walgreens in Darien was extradited from New York on Tuesday and arrested on a warrant by Darien police, according to authorities.

Brooklyn, NY resident Quentin T. Stroman, 23, was charged with the following: second-degree robbery, fourth-degree larceny, third-degree assault and conspiracy in connection with the Feb. 4 robbery from earlier this year. Stroman additionally was charged with sixth-degree larceny in connection with a separate shoplifting incident at the same Walgreens on Heights Road in December 2018.

According to Darien police, Stroman and fellow Brooklyn, NY resident Keston M. Charles, stole more than $1,600 worth of items from the Walgreens, and struck a store employee in the head during the incident.

Charles was apprehended a short distance away from the Walgreens soon after the robbery, but Stroman got away, according to Darien police.

During the investigation, Darien detectives learned of a Raleigh, NC theft of over-the-counter medications by four suspects.

"Images shared by the Raleigh Police revealed that one of the suspects was identical to a suspect shown in the footage obtained by the Darien Police," in the robbery and 2018 shoplifting incident. That suspect later was identified as Quentin Stroman, and Darien police obtained a warrant for his arrest.

Stroman was captured by New York City police on Aug. 23, which led to his extradition this week. He was held in lieu of bail of $525,000 and is scheduled to appear in Stamford Superior Court at a later date.
