The incident took in Middlesex County around 8 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 7 at the Old Saybrook Walmart.
According to Old Saybrook Police Chief Michael Spera, three people, one man, and two women entered the store, filled up two carriages of Legos, totaling more than $2,000, and left the store without paying.
As they were leaving, a Walmart loss prevention specialist attempted to stop them. The male suspect struck the Walmart associate with his elbow and then threatened to shoot him, Spera said.
The man identified as Glenn London, age 36, of New Haven, is also the primary suspect in two additional Lego larcenies from the Old Saybrook Walmart in October and November of this year where he stole $3,800 in Legos, the chief added.
“We must find and arrest those who choose to commit larcenies and robberies in our community”, said Spera. “This type of behavior, including the attack and threats made to a Walmart employee is completely unacceptable.”
Anyone who knows the whereabouts of London is asked to contact the Old Saybrook Police Department at 860-395-3142.
