Police arrested a Branford man Saturday on several felony charges following an armed robbery of a luxury watch business in Madison on Friday afternoon.

The Madison Police Department said Dennis Abbate, 46, of Branford, used a stun gun and a loaded firearm to steal several “high-end valuable watches” from The Watch Trader, 29 Boston Post Road.

Police said Abbate assaulted store employees over the course of the robbery, which occurred shortly before 2:30 p.m. Friday. The resulting injuries were minor, police said. The department said Abbate fled in a vehicle that Abbate stole from the store’s owner.

Following an investigation, Madison police said they took Abbate into custody Saturday at 2 a.m. on charges of first-degree robbery, first-degree larceny, second-degree unlawful restraint, third-degree assault, criminal possession of a firearm and criminal use of a weapon.

Abbate was being held on a $500,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in New Haven Superior Court on Monday, the department said.
