Nov 18, 2016 Stephen Krauchick

#Westport Connecticut--In July of 2016, the victim of this incident reported she was scammed by the suspect, Bobby Megel, regarding repair work done to her vehicle.

Megel made the vehicle appear fixed, but as time went on, he actually did more damage to it.

Westport News: Police Warn Of Break Ins

Oct 14, 2016 Stephen Krauchick

(Westport, CT) The Westport Police Department is advising residents of recent burglaries in the Greens Farms and Easton Road sections of town. While these burglaries remain under investigation, we have received additional reports from residents in these areas that suspicious people have knocked on their doors. When the resident answers the door, the individuals come up with a fabricated story about an internet posting or a broken down vehicle. These encounters end with the suspicious men leaving the area and police being notified. Police believe this is a tactic for the suspect(s) to identify an unoccupied residence. Westport residents should also know that a burglary suspect has been identified and connected to recent burglaries that occurred in town. That suspect is in custody for crimes that occurred in other…
