On July 15, 2024, Stratford Police responded to a home invasion in the Lordship section of town. Several suspects entered the occupied home in the early morning hours, stealing the victim’s vehicle and other valuables. They also removed registration plates from other vehicles in the neighborhood.
The investigation was taken over by the Narcotics, Vice, and Intelligence Unit, along with the Fairfield County Auto Theft Task Force. With assistance from the Connecticut Juvenile Probation Division, police departments in Sayreville, NJ, New York City, and New Jersey State Police, the main suspect was identified as 18-year-old Ryeim Robinson from Newark, NJ, who is connected to similar incidents across Fairfield County and beyond.
Robinson and his accomplices are believed to have stolen approximately $200,000 in vehicles and valuables since July 2024 across Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey. On September 19, 2024, New Jersey State Police arrested Robinson in Irvington, NJ, after a brief motor vehicle pursuit. He is being held as a Fugitive from Justice until his extradition to Connecticut to face charges.
On August 22, 2024, New York City Police also apprehended a juvenile involved in the Lordship incident while committing another home invasion in Brooklyn. The juvenile has since been extradited to Connecticut.
The Stratford Police Department expects to charge additional suspects involved in the Lordship home invasion.
Two men were arrested for their involvement in a street takeover on I-95 after blocking lanes and performing stunts with a large group of motorcyclists. On September 21, 2024, at approximately 11:10 AM, Connecticut State Police began receiving 911 calls about the erratic group on I-95 Southbound near New Haven.

During the early morning hours of Tuesday, September 24, 2024, the Norwalk Police Department Special Victims Unit received information regarding a Snapchat post that referenced a potential school shooting and bombing. The investigators traced the post to a home in Norwalk. Officers arrived at the location and identified a 14-year-old as the individual responsible for the post. Further investigations by patrol officers and Special Victims Unit investigators revealed that another Norwalk youth, aged 13, was also involved in sharing or creating the post. Through interviews with both minors and their parents, it was concluded that the post was not credible and was related to an online gaming platform the youths were engaged with and was meant as a hoax. Both juveniles were charged with Breach of Peace and summoned to juvenile court.
The investigators quickly determined that this threatening post was a hoax, and no Norwalk Public School was ever targeted. In partnership with the Norwalk Public Schools, we want to reassure everyone that we are working tirelessly to ensure the safety and security of our students and staff in schools.
We are asking the community to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the Norwalk Police Department. Malicious posts intended to bring public alarm and fear will be fully investigated, and enforcement will be taken. We need everyone’s cooperation when reposting or sharing information on social media. While well-intentioned, continued sharing of these messages can lead to unnecessary fear and concern, increasing stress across the community.
