Walmart Robbed Monday Afternoon

A man reportedly walked into Walmart in the Hamden Mart Monday afternoon and robbed the store, police said.

At about 2:45p.m. police received a report of a robbery at the store, police spokesman Capt. Ronald Smith said. 

After investigating the report, officers determined that a black man in his 50s, about 5'8" and 160 lbs. with gray facial hair, wearing gold-colored framed glasses, brown coat and gray winter hat, "entered the store, approached the customer service counter and demanded money," Smith said.

It was unclear whether the man showed a weapon during the robbery.

The clerk handed over an undisclosed amount of cash and the man fled, Smith said.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact the police department's Detective Division at 203-230-4040.
