A Yonkers man has been arrested in New Milford for an armed robbery that happened in 2017.  27-year old Anthony Lauria was arrested last week and in court Thursday on charges of criminal liability to commit robbery and larceny.

In August 2017, New Milford Police responded to the Verizon Wireless Store on Danbury Road after a man, later determined to be Lauria, inquired about merchandise, left and then came back armed. 

During the time Lauria entered the store, a black 4-door sedan is seen on video surveillance entering the parking lot area.  Lauria exited and is seen walking toward the black 4 door sedan. The black 4-door sedan then re-positions, parking in front of the Verizon Wireless store.

He allegedly pointed a gun at two employees.  A second suspect then entered, giving one of employee zip ties and directed him to zip tie his own hands. The two suspects then went into the inventory room and started filling up bags with merchandise.

As a result of this armed robbery, New Milford Police say the suspects made out with over $48,000 worth of inventory.  Arrest warrants for other involved suspects are pending at this time.
