#Trumbull CT–A 17-year old Stratford resident was apprehended and a second un-identified youth escaped early Sunday morning as they were checking unlocked cars parked on Jerusalem Hill. They fled when Police arrived but the one male was located hiding nearby. On April 23, 2017, shortly after 5:00 a.m., a resident on Jerusalem Hill called Police when he saw two males attempting to enter parked cars. The resident directed an arriving Officer to where he saw the males running. The resident and the officer then found one suspect hiding in a nearby driveway, the other suspect was not located.

Officers determined both subjects had arrived in a vehicle that had been stolen from Stratford and left nearby. Several additional vehicle keys were found and further investigation has linked one of those keys to a second stolen vehicle. The Seventeen year-old juvenile was charged with Criminal Trespass, Larceny and Conspiracy to Commit Larceny and was referred to Juvenile Court. Trumbull Detectives are continuing to investigate in order to identify the second suspect and possibly identify other vehicles involved.

#Trumbull CT—On Saturday, April 29, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the Trumbull Police Department and the Drug

Enforcement Administration (DEA) will provide the public another opportunity to prevent pill abuse

and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Anyone may bring pills for disposal to the parking lot of Daniels Farm School at 710 Daniels Farm Road, Trumbull. (The DEA cannot accept liquids or needles or sharps, only pills or patches.) The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked. Assisting us this year are the Trumbull Partnership Against Underage Drinking & Drugs (TPAUD) and The Trumbull Police Cadets.

 

Last October, Americans turned in 366 tons (over 730,000 pounds) of prescription drugs at almost 5,200 sites operated by the DEA and more than 4,000 of its state and local law enforcement partners. Overall, in its 12 previous “Take Back” events, DEA and its partners have taken in over 7.1 million pounds—more than 3,500 tons—of pills. This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards.
