HARTFORD, Conn (WTIC Radio)_ Hartford Police have made two arrests in connection with the Wednesday afternoon armed robbery at Metro PCS on Main Street.
Police say 35-year-old Shantee Seay (photo: right) of Hartford allegedly entered the cell phone store around 3:34 in the afternoon. He displayed a silver Bersa 9mm handgun and demanded money. The cashier gave into the demands and Seay walked out with several hundred dollars.
Area surveillance footage show him getting inside an Infinity Q50 with registration that traced to 34-year-old Michael Munroe of Manchester (photo: left). Police arrested him and charged him with robbery in the first degree, conspiracy to commit obbery in the first degree, and firearms trafficking. Munroe is currently being held on a $200,000 bond.
