NEW CANAAN, Conn. (AP) Police say a suspect in a smash-and-grab robbery at a New Canaan jewelry store a year ago committed suicide when he mistakenly believed police were closing in.
The Connecticut Post reports that police said Thursday that Ralik Hansen shot himself in Brooklyn Oct. 31 after a delivery person knocked on his door and he believed it was the police about to arrest him.
The 28-year-old Hansen was wanted on federal charges and considered armed and dangerous. He faced a federal indictment in April, but remained at large.
Police also said two other men were indicted in connection with the Nov. 6, 2013, robbery. Their alleged roles were not detailed, although one also is sought in connection with the theft of $700,000 worth of watches from a Cartier store in New York.
