NORWALK, CT — A man accused of robbing a Norwalk gas station was arrested less than 30 minutes after the incident was reported Tuesday night, according to police.

In a news release, Police Sgt. Sofia Gulino said a man displaying a knife entered a gas station on Connecticut Avenue around 8:30 p.m. and demanded cigarettes and a lighter, then left the store on foot. No injuries were reported.

Investigating officers discovered doors to a nearby commercial building were unlocked, prompting them to check inside. Officers quickly found Sean Hassan Jarrett, 29, of Norwalk, and arrested him, Gulino said.

Witnesses confirmed to police that Jarrett was the man seen inside the gas station, Gulino said. He was charged with first-degree robbery, first-degree criminal trespass, sixth-degree larceny and second-degree threatening.

His bond was set at $150,000, Gulino said.
