Ansonia Police seek information about Saturday robbery on E. Main Street

ANSONIA - Police investigated a robbery complaint at about 11:40 p.m. Saturday that occurred on the street in front of 370 East Main St., The Spot restaurant and lounge.

The initial information from our complainant was that he was involved in a motor vehicle accident and the driver of the other car began yelling at him before she took his wallet and phone, Lt. Patrick Lynch said today in a written release.

During the subsequent investigation the department was notified there was a video on social media of the incident. The complainant was not injured during the robbery, we are currently following up leads to identify all the people involved in the incident.

The following is a statement from Chief Williams. “The Ansonia Police Department is actively conducting an investigation into the street robbery that occurred in front of THE SPOT on East Main Street in Ansonia on the evening of March 1st. We have received numerous tips on this incident and are following up on them. Thank you to those that have sent in tips to our agency.

"We are also aware of the social media video of this incident that is circulating. We would encourage people to stop sharing this video which re-victimizes the victim in this case and sensationalizes the ridiculous actions of those involved. Instead of videotaping this robbery of a defenseless victim, responsible citizens should call 911.

"In this case, with all of the bar patrons standing outside, NOBODY called the police or helped the victim. We are better than this.”

Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to contact the police department at 203-735-1885 or anonymous tips can be left at Tip411 at the link below.

TEAM requests community support for Meals on Wheels in Valley

March is National Meals on Wheels month! 

For just $1, add your name to a list of community supporters for Meals on Wheels and vulnerable seniors in our community! https://givebutter.com/MOW25

In the last year alone, TEAM has served 411 seniors with our Meals on Wheels program, providing over 90,000 meals. Seventy-six percent of our Meals on Wheels clients are low income (at or below 200% of the federal poverty level), 58% live in isolation and 22% are at-risk for hospitalization.

Our Request: TEAM asks for you to show your support for our Meals on Wheels program which provides a daily, healthy meal to hundreds of homebound seniors in our community. For just $1, add your name to our wall of supporters of Meals on Wheels! Our display of Wheels will be in TEAM's lobby, and we will regularly post updates of how it grows.

Meals on Wheels is the key piece for many seniors allowing them to age in place at home, where they prefer to be. Being homebound can cause many challenges in a senior’s life, but they do not need to be institutionalized if they have access to proper care and services. Meals on Wheels provides two nutritionally balanced meals a day to homebound seniors, and the delivery of these meals also acts as a daily wellness check. There have been a few incidents in which our drivers have gone to meet a client at their door, only to hear the client plea from the floor for help after a fall. The peace of mind that comes with the predictability of a Meals on Wheels delivery is priceless for homebound seniors and their loved ones.
