Police have arrested two people in connection with an armed robbery at a package store in Newington last month.
Stevelan Snowden, 42, of Hartford was arrested Wednesday on charges of first-degree robbery, conspiracy to commit first-degree robbery, third-degree larceny and conspiracy to commit third-degree larceny, according to the Newington Police Department.
That arrest followed police apprehending Devon Kempson-Cook, 37, of Hartford on Monday, police said. Kempson-Cook faces the same charges as Snowden in addition to one count of criminal use of a weapon.
According to police, both men were identified as suspects in a robbery reported on Aug. 29 shortly before 9 p.m. at the Country Package Store at 256 Hartford Ave. Police said two men entered the store before one of them pointed a gun at the clerk.
According to police, cash and alcohol were stolen during the robbery.
No injuries were reported.
The Newington Police Detective Division assumed the investigation and obtained a warrant for both Snowden and Kempson-Cook.
Kempson-Cook is scheduled to appear in New Britain Superior Court on Sept. 23, while Snowden is expected to face a judge on Sept. 23.
Police said their investigation was assisted by the West Hartford Police Department as well as the Hartford Police Department’s Emergency Response Team and Violent Crimes Unit.
