Chen’s at 303 Tunxis Hill Cut Off received a call for a take out order.  They recognized the phone number and address as a previous snatch and grab robbery in the past.  They called police.  Within minutes police had the area surrounded with officers hidden from sight.  Just as before, as the delivery person was about to make the delivery the two men allegedly snatched the bag but this time police took off after them with K9 as well (K9 loves fast food,  aka running suspects).  One took off and was captured on Berwick Avenue, the other on Brentwood Avenue as seen in the photo.
