DERBY - The Derby Police Department is seeking the public's assistance in identifying two individuals involved in a vandalism incident at the Derby Parking Garage.

If you recognize these individuals or have any information that may assist investigators, please contact the Derby Police Department at 203-735-7811.

Tips may also be submitted anonymously or sent directly to us through our Facebook direct messages.

Halloween 'pranks' affect homeowners on Ansonia Hilltop

This is a community-oriented blog, and since I live on the Ansonia Hilltop I thought I'd share information I just read this morning on the Ansonia Community Updates and Forum Facebook page.

Hilltop residents said their houses and cars were hit with blue paintballs late Friday night. 
Streets they mentioned are Prindle Avenue, Bruns Road, and Greenfield Drive.

Let's hope the perpetrators are found and punished.
