A 23-year-old man was arrested after a reported attempted armed robbery at Fine Gold Jewelry Store in Hartford, Connecticut, on November 6, according to NBC Connecticut’s report.
Officers responded at about 2:20 p.m. to the store on William Shorty Campbell Street. Employees told police they were struggling with an armed suspect who had used pepper spray inside the business. Customers, including a young child, were exposed, NBC Connecticut reported.
Officers secured the suspect at the scene. Customers and employees were treated there for minor injuries.
WFSB reported on November 8 that police recovered burglary tools and two firearms reported stolen from New Hampshire. The station reported charges including assault, robbery, possession of an assault weapon and theft of a firearm.
The arrest and charges are allegations, not a finding of guilt.
