Suspect Sought in Multiple Naugatuck Liquor Store Robberies

Naugatuck Police are asking residents to help them identify a man who is suspected of attempting to rob two liquor stores on Rubber Avenue with a knife in the past week.

He first ripped off the Cork N Keg on Feb. 8 where he made off with some cash and items.

The same suspect attempted to rob Paliva’s Liquors on Feb. 11. A clerk told him that she wouldn’t give-up money and he left.

In both instances the suspect is described as a heavy set white or Hispanic man of average height and is likely between 30 and 40-years-old, according to police. He had a ski type jacket with either or hat or hoodie covering his head.

Police urge people not to approach the suspect and instead call police at 203-729-7106 or 911 in case of an emergency.
