A Connecticut man, Anthony Pagano, is charged with a series of armed robberies and a burglary that took place in Meriden in December 2024. The 34-year-old faces serious charges, including two counts of first-degree robbery, after he allegedly brandished a knife during robberies at three local businesses, including a Family Dollar and a gas mart, as well as stealing a vehicle from a nearby company.

He is being held on a court-set bond of $600,000 as police work to piece together the full extent of his alleged criminal activities in the area.
