Anyone who recognizes the men shown in these photos, suspects in a recent crime committed at the Shell station, is asked to call Hampden Police Detective Scott Trombly at 413-566-8011.
HAMPDEN -- The Hampden Police Department is asking for the public's help in identifying two men who recently allegedly swiped cartons of cigarettes from the Shell gas station and convenience store at 42 Somers Road.
Police did not indicate when the crime occurred or any other details about the suspects, both of whom appear to be middle-aged black men who were wearing hats and winter clothing. One man was wearing a blue Adidas sweatshirt with white lettering.
Anyone who recognizes the suspects or has information about their whereabouts is asked to call Detective Scott Trombly at 413-566-8011.
The gas station closed last summer while new underground tanks were installed, but the convenience store remained open for business while the work was being performed. The business resumed selling gas at the site in the fall.
In 2009, a former employee of the Shell station tried to rob the business with a folding knife while wearing a wig, sunglasses and bandanna. An employee pulled off the woman's wig and quickly recognized her as a onetime colleague, holding the would-be robber at bay until police arrived.
