Man Accused of Armed Robbery In Windsor Locks Still At Large

WINDSOR LOCKS, CT — A man who robbed a McDonald's restaurant while brandishing a gun on Route 75 early Monday morning is still being sought by police.

Around 12:30 a.m., a vehicle was at the drive-up window when a man walked between the car and the window. When an employee opened the cash drawer, the man stuck his head and upper body into the window and grabbed the cash drawer, police said.

A short struggle ensued until the employee noticed a black handgun in the man's hand. The suspect ran away with the cash drawer, and possibly fled in a waiting vehicle, police said.

A Windsor Locks Police Department canine was brought in and tracked the man until the scent was lost, police said.

The man is described by police as a Black or Hispanic man, wearing a blue hoodie, surgical type mask, black Adidas pants and sneakers.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Windsor Locks Police Department at 860-627-1461.
