2021-07-31@10:35pm–#Bridgeport CT– Bridgeport Police came over the hotline to Trumbull that there was a home invasion, street not given but they said the suspects fled onto Main Street in a white sedan (I won’t list the make). Taken was a safe containing over $8,000 by three masked males.
2021-07-30@9:32pm–#Bridgeport CT– Police were dispatched for an assault with a dangerous weapon in the 400 block of Hallett Street. What kind of weapon I do not know because, well, you know, Joe took the press’s police radios away. What I observed was a woman leaving the scene in the ambulance with what appeared to a hand injury. I also observed multiple police looking in the white car and it appeared they were looking in for shell casings on the ground and up to the top of the house for possible bullet holes. Whether my observations are correct or what they are looking for we might be lucky to know by tomorrow, but not enough time to alert you to a possible situation in town.

Two (2) Bridgeport residents, were arrested on Tuesday afternoon, July 27, after shoplifting from the Westfield Trumbull Mall, then attempted to enter a stolen vehicle before running from police. Janet Gonzalez, age 42, of Central Avenue, and Carlos Hernandez, age 32, of Noble Avenue, left Macy’s with almost $2000 worth of unpaid for clothing. Macy’s security initially attempted to stop them, but they left the store. Trumbull Police officers were notified and assisted in apprehending Gonzalez who was in the parking lot, and attempting to enter the driver’s side of a stolen Chevrolet Cruz, as Hernandez ran from the scene. Gonzalez had her right hand behind her back and squared off in an aggressive manner towards the arriving officer. The officer yelled for Gonzalez to stop, but she ran away from the officer and towards Macy’s security with an unknown object in her hand. The officer gave chase and deployed their department issued Taser on Gonzalez resulting in the capture of her. Hernandez was later apprehended by officers near the bus stop.
