MILFORD, CT — A Bridgeport man, Latrell Baker, 23, of Burnsford Avenue is accused stealing goods from Dick's Sporting Goods, 1201 Boston Post Road, and then threatened to stab a manager, police said.

On Oct. 22, members of the Milford Police Department responded to Dick's Sporting Goods, police said. Upon arrival they determined that four people had just stolen upwards of $1,500 of merchandise and left the store prior to Police arrival, police said.

"The accused was confronted by the manager and staff and struck one of them in an attempt to flee and threatened to stab the manager," Milford Police said in a news release.

Milford Police say they will likely make additional arrests in this case as the investigation is still ongoing.
