Suspect in 1983 Connecticut heist due in court Thursday Associated Press Published February 27 2008 HARTFORD, Conn. -- Federal authorities say alleged Puerto Rican militant facing charges in the 1983 robbery of a Connecticut armored car depot is expected to appear in federal court in Hartford on Thursday. Avelino Gonzalez Claudio had fought extradition to the U.S., but a judge in Puerto Rico rejected his bail request. Gonzalez was arrested by the FBI earlier this month in his native Puerto Rico, where the 65-year-old had been working as a teacher and living under an assumed name. Gonzalez is one of more than a dozen people indicted in the Sept. 12, 1983, robbery of about $7 million from a Wells Fargo armored car depot in West Hartford. He faces charges including robbery and transportation of stolen money. Copyright © 2008, The Associated Press
