Explained in plain English

What is 'being sought in connection'?

When someone is 'sought in connection' with a crime, it means the police believe they might have been involved in it and want to question them. It doesn't automatically mean they are guilty, but they are a person of interest in the investigation. In this case, the man was wanted for a robbery.
