The CCSU campus was put in lockdown after an armed robbery was reported around 305 Paul Manafort Drive and East Street at around 9 p.m. Thursday.

Officer Soucy of the New Britain Police Department told The Recorder Thursday night that a male with a firearm was arguing with a woman’s boyfriend and that he was “asking for all the drugs.” Money might have been taken.

Two white males with guns were seen heading towards East Street towards the Essex Place area.

“They still are continuing to search for the two guys that did the holdup,” said Mark McLaughlin, CCSU spokesperson.

McLaughlin had no information on the details of the armed robbery itself.

“The only thing that we will be releasing at this point is what’s posted on the university website and the CCSU news section of the pipeline. We’ll update as soon as we get more information,” said McLaughlin.

CCSU is advising everyone to avoid the area and any suspicious people.

The police also advise anyone with more information to report it to them by calling 860-832-2375.
