Connecticut State Police are looking for a suspect believed to have robbed a person in a gas station parking lot in Killingworth, then robbed a store in Durham Wednesday.
Police said the first incident appeared in the parking lot of the Cloverleaf Gas Station at 237 Route 81 in Killingworth around 5:09 a.m.. The victim told police a man approached and demanded money. The victim struggled with the suspect then fled in a silver sedan. The victim was not hurt.
