#Bridgeport, Conn. (June 15, 2015) – Police seized two firearms, including an assault weapon, early Sunday and arrested two suspects after a community member reported a suspicious vehicle on Palm Street. “With the assistance of the community, we took two guns off the street and, based on statements from one of the suspects, prevented an armed robbery,” said Police Chief Joseph L. Gaudett Jr. “It was outstanding work by officers in cooperation with a resident, who saw something suspicious and reported it.”
Police recovered a loaded AK-47-style assault rifle and a loaded Taurus revolver.
At 1:00 a.m. Sunday, officers responded to Palm Street on a report of a suspicious vehicle. When officers arrived, the driver of the car sped off. As it fled, the vehicle struck a curb and blew out a tire. The driver continued to flee until he crashed at Glenwood Avenue and Chopsey Hill Road.
The driver and passenger then jumped out and tried to flee on foot. When he jumped out of the still-moving vehicle, the passenger, identified as Rashad Hodges, 25, of Willow Street, threw down the assault weapon.
The driver, Alberto Rojas, 32, was apprehended after a foot chase through a wooded area. Police found him hiding in a brushy area. In custody, he told police that “we were just trying to rob some drug dealer.”
Officers pursuing Hodges observed him throw a shiny object into a stream as he fled. He was taken into custody moments later. Police returned to the area where they saw Hodges throw the object and found a Taurus revolver in the shallow water. Police also recovered a camouflage mask and a pair of blue latex gloves.
“This is another illustration of what we can accomplish when police and the community work together,” said Mayor Bill Finch. “As a result of that cooperation, police took two illegal guns off the street and arrested two criminals who were intent on committing a robbery.”
Rojas was charged with motor vehicle violations and conspiracy to commit first-degree robbery. His bond was set at $20,000.
