A gas station in East Hartford was robbed early on New Year’s Day and police are trying to identify the two armed robbers.

Police said two males with guns robbed the Citgo gas station at 1259 Burnside Ave. just after 3:30 a.m. Wednesday.

The clerks said one robber went behind the counter and demanded cash and the other stood by the door, possibly as a lookout.

No one was hurt and the police said they have not taken any suspects into custody.

Police are investigating and waiting on more video surveillance.
