Trumbull Mall Robbery Suspect Captured

TRUMBULL, CT — Criminal charges are pending against a man who is suspected of committing robberies at the Trumbull and Milford malls. Two female mall patrons were robbed at gunpoint at the Trumbull mall Friday night around 10:30 p.m.

The robber took the victims' cash and other personal property. The same suspect also committed a similar robbery at the Milford mall Saturday around 7:45 p.m., said Capt. Keith Golding, Trumbull Police spokesman.

Police captured the suspect in New Haven after a chase, an arrest was made and a handgun was recovered.

"Trumbull Police Detectives collected evidence, conducted interviews, and compared detailed information with investigators in Milford and New Haven to determine conclusively that the same suspect was responsible for both crimes," Golding said.

The suspect is being held on active New Haven warrants. Trumbull Police expect to charge the suspect later this week. Milford charges are pending as well.
