Milford Police have arrested a Milford man on charges connected to last Tuesday’s armed robbery of the Quik Mart on South Main Street.

Steven Levasseur, 23, was arrested Friday and charged with armed robbery while masked with a firearm and armed assault to rob (firearm), according to a Milford Police press release.

The arrest came after police applied for and were granted a search warrant for Levasseur’s residence on Leonard Street in Milford. In the residence, detectives discovered articles of clothing worn during the robbery as well as the firearm used, which turned out to be an Airsoft gun, the press release states.

Police had released surveillance video from the robbery, which occurred around 9 p.m. last Tuesday. The robber held up the lone attendant at the Quik Mart and escaped with cash from the register.
