After pulling out his machete and ordering employees to give him the store’s money during the early-morning heist, he reportedly fled the same innovative way that he entered.
Surveillance photos show that the suspect concealed his identity with dark shades, a bandana over his mouth, and the hood from his sweatshirt covering a baseball cap that appeared to be pulled low.
Police believe that this may not have been the suspect’s first time using a machete to attempt to rob a Dunkin’, reported the Hartford Courant.
About a week earlier, two men — one with a machete — unsuccessfully tried to give the same treatment to a store in New Haven.
The same man in the Manchester incident may also be responsible for recently holding up a nearby gas station while armed with a machete, reported NECN.
In each case, there were no injuries.
Police are encouraging anyone with information about the robberies and attempted robbery to contact them.
