On March 15, 2016, the Norwalk Police Department received information from a bank fraud investigator regarding the financial exploitation of an elderly victim. The investigation revealed that Angelo Bimbo went to the victim’s house looking for work and agreed to do repairs. Bimbo was able to obtain $24,750 in checks from the victim for work never done. Bimbo was identified by his Florida license, which he used to cash the checks.

On May 12, 2016, a second elder Norwalk resident contacted the Norwalk Police Department to report a larceny. The victim alleged that on May 2, Bimbo approached the victim in the victim’s driveway. Bimbo stated that the victim’s roof had a “bubble” and that the driveway needed repairs. Bimbo obtained two checks totaling $7,000 to purchase supplies, however Bimbo did not return to begin the work. Bimbo eventually returned to the victim’s residence on May 12, at which time the victim contacted the police. However, Bimbo fled the scene prior to police arrival, leaving a half- sealed driveway, and abandoning a day laborer on the roof of the victim’s home.

Arrestee: Angelo Bimbo, 21 years old, of 103 Ponus Avenue, Norwalk     Charges: Larceny 1 and Larceny 2    Bond: $31,650
