During the Sept. 11 meeting of the city council, Bristol Police Chief Brian Gould announced that since April 9, 2018, the police department has received 24 complaints of cars being jacked up, and the tires and rims being stolen.

Gould stated that the latest incidents occurred early of Sept. 10

Gould said these incidents are primarily taking place in residential neighborhoods and apartment complexes that have large parking lots, and “it’s believed that these thefts are occurring and being committed in 10 minutes or less.”

“We’ve been conducting a situational analysis to determine a proper response. History has shown that random deployment of resources is not effective,” said Gould. “Our challenges, at the moment, is there are approximately 254 miles of roadway, over 52,000 motor vehicles registered in Bristol, and over 21,500 real estate parcels that we are trying to protect.”

But, Gould said that these crimes are not only affecting Bristol.

“There are many other communities experiencing the exact same thing. We are in contact with each other and we’re sharing information through the Connecticut Intelligence Center,” said Gould. “The leaders in these communities are sharing similar advice to their residents and visitors as well.”

The make of cars targeted include Acura, Audi, Honda, Mercedes, Nissan, Subaru, Toyota, Infiniti, and Volkswagen.

“The response that we will use will be specific and coordinated, but we can’t do this alone. We need our partners – you, the community – to assist us. There are several ways that you can be of assistance to us and each other,” said Gould.

Gould said that if you see something suspicious, call (860)584-3011, or 911 if there is an emergency.”

Gould also gave a number of steps that can be taken to reduce the risk of crime, such as, “lock your vehicles, homes, and garages at all times;” “do not leave valuables in your vehicles – if you must, move them out of plain view, or secure them in the trunk. And when you do that, be aware of where you’re doing that; look at the situation around you to make sure people aren’t seeing you move things to the trunk;” “do not leave spare vehicle key fobs, keys, or garage door openers in your vehicles;” “enable any security features that your vehicle may have, such as security systems, vehicle tracking, et cetera;” and, “always park in a well lit area.”

If you have any information regarding these incidents, call (860)584-3011.

On the afternoon of Thursday, Dec. 13, an alleged bomb threat was reported at the Bristol Senior Center, 240 Stafford Ave. A patrolman with the Bristol Police Department said that information has yet to be released, but the department is looking into the alleged threat.

This incident came in conjunction with reports that there were similar occurrences at Griswold Elementary School in Berlin, the National Shooting Association in Newtown, Seybridge Plaza in Seymour, and Bloomfield.

The Connecticut State Police Public Information Office announced that “troopers from Troop E-Montville were dispatched to Griswold Elementary School… As a precautionary measure, the elementary school has been evacuated and members of the Emergency SErvices Unit are on scene conducting an investigation.”

Members of ESU were also dispatched to the NSA, and Seybridge Plaza.

“Our Cyber Crimes Investigative Unit and Connecticut Intelligence Center (CTIC) are currently working to identify the source of the emails that are circulating across various agencies in the state,” according to the Connecticut Public Information Office.

It is not yet clear if these incidents are related, but investigations are pending.

A report of a handgun being fired at Connecticut Commons last Friday led to a stand-off with a suspect, an arrest, and the ultimate revelation that the handgun was plastic.

Police arrested Eduardo Rivera, 44, of New Britain and charged him with first degree falsely reporting an incident, interfering with an officer, second degree breach of peace, first reckless endangerment, and carrying a dangerous weapon.

Plainville police received a report Friday, Dec. 28 from a male witness that another male was firing a gun at the back door of Lowe’s Home Improvement at the Connecticut Commons Plaza on New Britain Avenue.

Police said they responded to the scene and found a male suspect holding a handgun behind Dick’s Sporting Goods near the area of the loading docks. Police detained the male suspect in that area and evacuated surrounding business.

Police negotiated with the suspect who did not initially comply with any orders to drop his handgun.

Members of the Central Regional Emergency Response Team, the West Hartford ERT Team, along with officers from the New Britain Police Department, Bristol Police Department, and the States Attorney’s Office responded to assist with the matter.

Shortly after 5 p.m., police said, ERT officers successfully took the male suspect, Rivera, into custody through the use of non-lethal force. Rivera was taken to New Britain Hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries.

Police said the handgun was retrieved and discovered to be an unloaded plastic BB gun.

There were no injuries to any responding law enforcement personnel or civilian in the area, said Plainville police.

Rivera is currently being held on a $100,000 surety bond.
