Police Investigate Possible Link Between Armed Robberies in Manchester, West Hartford

Two men have reportedly robbed jewelry stores in both communities.

The May 11 robber of the JB Expo Store on West Middle Turnpike in Manchester may be connected to another robbery roughly a week later in West Hartford.  

The Hartford Courant reported this weekend that police in both communities are investigating a potential link between both the JB jewelry store robbery and the May 20 robbery of the Solid Gold Jewelry & Diamond store on Kane Street in West Hartford.  

According to the Courant, two men reportedly robbed both places during business hours, and handguns were used in both cases.
