Three Arrested in Vernon After Alleged Pizza Delivery Driver Robbery

Vernon Police arrested three people overnight who allegedly robbed a pizza delivery driver.

Officers were first notified about the incident after receiving a 911 call around 11:38 p.m., said Lt. William Meier, police spokesman.

It was reported that two males, one armed with a gun, robbed the driver of the money and the pizza and fled on foot near Talcott Avenue and Woodland Street.

Officers determined that the occupants of the first floor at 21 Woodland St. were involved in the robbery, Meier said.
