FAIRFIELD, Conn. (WTIC Radio) - Fairfield Police are investigating the armed robbery of a school employee at the Southport School.
Investigators say they received a report from an employee of the school on Main Street around 7:30 a.m. that she and a co-worker were walking to the school after parking their vehicles when they were robbed at gunpoint.
As they approached the school they noticed an unfamiliar male subject on Main Street near the school.
The male approached the two female victims, displayed what was described as a black/silver handgun and demanded they hand over their phones and bags.
The female subjects complied and then fled into The Southport School which was briefly placed into a “secure school” condition until police were able to clear the area.
The suspect was described as a black male in his late teens or early 20’s, clean shaven, wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and baggy dark denim jeans. He reportedly fled the area toward Harbor Road where it is believed he entered a vehicle and further fled the area.
No injuries were reported during this incident.
