Gun-Toting Man Robs Riverside Gas Station

A masked gunman robbed the Sheep Hill Mobil gas station in Riverside early Saturday.

The lone suspect — wearing a Halloween mask and brandishing a gun — entered the gas station at 1129 E. Putnam Ave. about 1:30 a.m. and demanded cash from the station attendant, Greenwich Police said in a statement.

“The attendant, who was not injured, immediately complied with the demands and the suspect fled the store with a small amount of cash. The suspect got into a waiting vehicle described as possibly an older model gold-colored SUV and fled the area,” police said.

The suspect is described as a male with a light complexion, unknown age, average build, and of average height. The suspect was wearing a plastic semi-opaque Halloween mask and sunglasses, a dark hoodie sweatshirt, brown jacket, dark-colored pants and white sneakers.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Greenwich Police Tip Line at 203-622-3333 or 1-800-372-1176 or via email: tips@greenwichct.org.
