NORWALK — A 34-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a knife-point robbery at Veterans’ Park last month.

Mario Osorio-Lopez, who has no known address, was taken into custody July 30 without incident after an arrest warrant was issued by Stamford Superior Court.

The robbery occurred July 12 at approximately 11:37 p.m. when a juvenile victim arranged through Snapchat to sell several high-value items at the park.

Upon arriving at the location, the victim was approached by three males, one of whom displayed a knife and forcibly took the items before all three suspects fled the area.

Osorio-Lopez faces charges of robbery in the second degree, larceny in the third degree, risk of injury to a minor and conspiracy to commit robbery in the second degree.

He is being held on $500,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court Aug. 13.

Police say more arrests are expected and the investigation is ongoing.
