MONTPELIER –– A man has been arrested in connection with an armed robbery at a Montpelier gas station.
The Montpelier Police Department responded to a report of an armed robbery at the Mobil gas station on Berlin Street around 8:31 p.m. on Thursday, October 12, according to Police Chief Eric W. Nordenson.
