MILFORD — On Sunday, November 30, 2025, at approximately 7:22PM, the Milford Public Safety Communications Center received a 911 call from an employee at Riverside Gas, located at 146 South Main Street in Milford, reporting that a white male wearing a black mask and grey shirt had stolen several packs of cigarettes after unsuccessfully attempting to take money from the cash register.
