Armed Robbers Hit Convenience Store, East Haven Police Seek Help

0:00Police in East Haven are on the case after two armed robbers hit a convenience store Friday night. Around 1036 PM, the suspect stormed into Zaza City on Foxon Road, dressed head to toe in black with ski masks on. One flash in AK-47 style rifle, the other a handgun, as they vaulted the counter and snatched an unknown amount of cash before bolting. Toward New Haven, officers rolled up quick after a witness dial 911 from right outside, spotting the whole thing go down. No one got hurt, which is a huge relief in a situation this tense, with heavy firepower involved. The community dodged a bullet, but folks nearby are on edge knowing these guys are still out there. East Haven copped stress, this was a targeted hit on the store, not random violence spilling into neighborhoods. Investigators swept the scene for evidence and even ran a K-9 track, but it came up empty on the suspects. Now they're calling on residents around Foxon Road, Crest Avenue and Highland Avenue to check home cameras for any clips of the robbers or there.
