Police Searching For Sunshine Mart Armed Robbers

Meriden Police are asking the public for help in identifying two men they say took an undisclosed amount of money from a local convenience store in an armed robbery last week.

Officers were dispatched to the Sunshine Food Mart at 550 Broad St. at about 3:27 a.m. on Nov. 30, responding to a call of a robbery, police said in a statement Monday morning.

They were told that a bearded white man walked up to the counter and asked the clerk for the contents of the store's cash register. The suspect allegedly pulled up his jacket to show the clerk what appeared to be the handle of a gun. In video stills released by the police he is wearing a Yankees baseball cap, a black jacket with white sleeves, plaid pants and white shoes.

A second man reportedly acted as a lookout during the crime, standing near the front door. He appears to be wearing a hooded sweatshirt.

The men made off with an undisclosed amount of money.

Anyone who can identify either man, or with information on the crime is asked to call the Meriden Police Major Crime Unit, 203-630-6272.
