Shelton Police Wednesday charged a Bridgeport man in the October stick-up of a Bridgeport Avenue gas station.
Police said officers served an arrest warrant on Kashawn Brown, 23, at Superior Court in Derby Wedenesday. Brown was charged with first-degree robbery, first-degree burglary, and fifth-degree larceny.
Brown has been in custody since November in connection with a number of robberies in Bridgeport, so Shelton police requested he be sent to court in Derby to be charged Wednesday.
“The arrest stems for an investigation by the detective bureau working in conjunction with other area departments on similar incidents,” Shelton Police Lt. Robert Kozlowsky said in a press release. “More arrests may be forthcoming.”
The alleged robbery occurred Oct. 6. Police said that about 10 p.m. that night officers were sent to the gas station, at 99 Bridgeport Ave., on a report of an armed robbery.
The employee at the station told police that a man wearing a hooded sweatshirt, jeans, and a black cloth covering his face entered the store and went to the register.
The man then displayed a gun and demanded money, according to police, and left with an undetermined amount of cash.
The employee was not injured, police said, and no one else was in the store at the time.
