It’s spread to Derby.
Last week Ansonia Police Chief Kevin Hale told the Valley Indy about a rash of car burglaries his city was experiencing.
Today Derby police issued a release saying residents there are falling victim to the same crime.
“Residents should be aware that there have been numerous car break-ins throughout Derby,” police said. “While one arrest has been made, we are still investigating these incidents.”
Derby police are urging residents not to leave valuables in their vehicles — and to make sure doors are locked.
Anyone with information on the Derby break-ins should call the department’s detective division at 203-735-7811.
Last summer there was a similar rash of break-ins in Ansonia, Derby, Seymour and Shelton.
More negativity in Derby. The hits just keep coming. Derby Police can’t handle the recent rise in crime. City Hall in disarray. Highest tax hike in the valley. No transfer station. A dozen law suits against the city and counting. Lack of leadership. Cannot fund the new DMS. Business after business leaving town. It is time for new leadership in Derby!! Unfortunately, we will have to wait another year before we vote staffieri-hughes out. Hopefully, the city won’t go bankrupt by then.
With the crime element in Derby, residents must be vigilant, and extra-protective of their property. LOCK UP, AT ALL TIMES!
