#Trumbull CT–On Thursday, July 26, 2018, reports of a purse snatching and an altercation taking place in the mall parking lot brought police to that scene. Police learned that two females stole items from a woman’s purse and became violent when bystanders tried to stop them, injuring one man as they entered a car and sped off.
In a second incident that occurred on Monday July 30, 2018, Police located and arrested a Bridgeport man after he assaulted a Lord & Taylor security employee during an attempted shoplifting and fled from the Trumbull Mall on foot. During the first incident, a woman who was seated at Panera Bread, reportedly felt someone move her purse, which was hung over her chair back. The woman turned around and saw that the purse was unzipped and her wallet was open. The victim confronted two females seated behind her.
The females jumped up and ran outside into the parking lot. The victim ran after them yelling for help along the way, which prompted two men to come to the victim’s aid as she gave chase. The thieves responded violently to the good Samaritan’s efforts to detain them by attacking and biting one man and kicking at another. One man was able to pull a bag away from the suspects before both suspects were able to enter their car and drive off, nearly striking other bystanders and vehicles along the way. The recovered bag contained articles stolen from the first woman as well as items stolen from another woman’s purse that occurred at a business in Westport. The investigation is ongoing by detectives who have obtained information on the two suspects, who they believe are responsible for similar incidents in the area.
The second incident was a shoplifting that resulted in the arrest of Javier Saez, age 49, of Burr Road, Bridgeport. Saez reportedly grabbed over $1,500 worth of men’s clothing from a store display, then exited the store. Security officers located and attempted to stop him outside. Saez dropped the merchandise, shoved a guard, and ran from them. He scaled a nearby fence where the guards lost sight of him in heavy brush. Arriving Trumbull officers were directed to a wooded area between the mall and the Merritt Parkway where Saez had fled. Saez apparently ran across the highway into adjacent neighborhoods. Police deployed a K-9 and with assistance from State police, began searching the area. Saez was eventually apprehended when a Trumbull officer spotted him walking a mile-and-a-half away along Edison Road. Saez was taken into custody without incident and charged with: Third Degree Robbery, Fourth Degree Larceny and assault. He was held on $3,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on August 8th . Saez also had an active arrest warrant for Larceny out of Stratford.

#BRIDGEPORT—Senator Marilyn Moore (D-Bridgeport) was recognized as one of twelve 2018 “Children’s Champions” by The Connecticut Early Childhood Alliance during a ceremony at the YMCA in Bridgeport today. The Alliance recognizes legislators for their leadership on issues that impact the well-being of Connecticut’s young children in the areas of healthy development, early care and education, nutrition, and safety. “As legislators, it’s important that we continue to work with child advocates like the CT Early Childhood Alliance to ensure that all of Connecticut’s children are receiving the resources they need to be adequately taken care of, educated, and healthy as they enter adolescence. Investing in our children is investing in a better future,” Sen. Moore said. “I am honored to be named a ‘Children’s Champion’ in recognition of my efforts to pass legislation that improves the lives of children in our state.” “Each of the legislators we’re recognizing this year stood up for children to protect funding for child care or to push policy change that supports families with children,” said Merrill Gay, Executive Director of the Alliance.
Legislation passed this year that includes: A bill that will make it easier for homeless families to obtain child care, thus helping parents work and change their situations. Another bill that passed will allow the CT Office of Early Childhood to prioritize infants and toddlers if there is a Care4Kids wait list. It will also make it easier for the OEC to adjust provider rates for School Readiness and state-funded centers. An act mandating insurance coverage of essential health benefits including pregnancy and immunizations also passed this year. The Connecticut Early Childhood Alliance is a statewide organization committed to improving outcomes in the areas of learning, health, safety and economic security, for children ages birth to eight. The Alliance’s goal is for all children in Connecticut to enter kindergarten healthy, eager to learn, and ready for school success.
