• Larceny: Maria Perez, 43, of Norwalk was arrested and charged with second degree larceny by possession after a traffic stop. According to Capt. Fred Komm, Perez was driving north on Post Road around 1:25 a.m. when one of the department's license plate readers captured the vehicle's tag and indicated that it was stolen. An officer stopped the 2011 Chevrolet Impala around Post Road & Leroy Avenue before speaking with Perez and placing her under arrest. Komm said the car had originally been rented at a Hertz location in West Virginia but hadn't been returned. Perez was held in lieu of $10,000 bond and went to court later that morning.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 17

• Burglary: Police responded to a burglary at a "very large home" Saturday night on Mansfield Ave. According to Komm, the call came in around 11:41 p.m. as an alarm activation in the mud room of the residence. When police arrived, they discovered "extensive damage" to a door and windows along a seven-foot section of the house indicating that intruders had pried them off. Due to the size of the residence, police brought in Zulu, the department's K-9, along with a state police K-9 unit to search the home. No one was found inside and no valuables were obviously out of place, but a blue pry bar was found at the scene. The occupants of the house were away at the time.
