The two New Haven residents, identified as Christian Cuomo, age 18, and Tyvon Torres, age 19, both of Wallingford, turned themselves in to police on Wednesday, March 22, for the Friday, March 3 incident in Milford.
According to Milford Police, On March 3 around 1:30 p.m., the Cinemark Movie Theater at the Post Mall received a telephone call from an individual reporting to have a bomb and stating he was outside the movie theater.
