Suspect Sought In Armed Robbery At Home Depot In Orange: Police

ORANGE, CT — The Orange Police Department is asking for the public's help in identifying the suspect in an armed robbery at the Home Depot in Orange on July 18, according to authorities.

The incident began when the suspect approached a cashier at the store with merchandise in his hands.

"After the cashier rang up the purchase, the suspect lifted up his shirt to display a handgun tucked into his waistband and told the cashier not to say anything," police wrote on Facebook.
