Man Robbed Milford Gas Station At Gunpoint: Police

MILFORD, CT — A man is accused of robbing a Milford gas station at gunpoint, according to police.

Police were dispatched to Patriot Fuels at 719 Boston Post Road on Feb. 21 on a report of an armed robbery.

The suspect was wearing blue surgical gloves and a surgical mask and was armed with a black handgun. He put the gun to the employee's head and demanded the employee open the cash register.

The suspect stole $3,000 and fled on foot.

Milford police and another agency had recently been investigating similar robberies with a similar suspect conducted in the same manner. Previous robberies had involved a white SUV, police said.

Officers searched the area and found an SUV in the parking lot of the Shoreline Motel next door that matched a description of the suspect vehicle.

Police spoke with the SUV's owner, Samuel Carmon, 69, of New Haven, who was staying at the motel and was dressed similarly to the suspect.

Carmon provided officers an ID from his vehicle's glovebox which police said contained "multiple wads of cash with large denominations as well as surgical gloves and masks like the ones worn during the robbery."

Police seized the SUV and multiple other items as evidence.

Carmon was taken into custody and charged with first-degree robbery. He was held on $500,000 bond and taken to court Feb. 24.
