Past history has shown that these type of incidents increase due to the up-coming holiday. People are desperate this time of year. Glad no one got hurt, it's only money and it is insured. I am sure the teller is still shaking.

East Haven has no unsolved bank robberies. The detective division assisted by the patrol division will solve this one.

Take a good look at the pic's. These 2 are not your fly by night bank robbers. There will ne no photo ID available. There will be no prints left behind and no DNA anywhere. They knew what they were doing. Only hope is that the exterior camera at Walgreens, which points towards Main Street from the rear, will pick up a car or if lucky a plate number. Other then that, it will require a good confidential informant.

That is correct Mr. Wolfe. The FBI maintains a serial bank robbery "10 most wanted" list. Currently composed of 7 W/M's, 2 B/M's, and 1 H/M.

Everyone: Just got the latest update from Sgt Emerman at the EHPD. And part of that includes the news that the CT Bankers Association is now offering a cash reward for info on the suspects. Just an FYI. Here is the link: http://patch.com/A-zTCX

I'm disappointed with the new format. Doesn't seem to be very user friendly.
Melissa Simoes June 17, 2013 at 09:06 am
It's probably the same punks who broke into our cars over on Mansfield Grove AGAIN.... the policeRead More think its a bunch of teenagers because they take little things that are not of much value in any cars that arent locked..and are also doing things like slashing tires, etc all over town. They got into my car the same night! Hope you find your scooter

Gov. O'mally is ruining this State by driving more and more people into poverty, giving illegalsRead More drivers licenses, letting criminals out of jail early, pushing good companies out, and making it's citizens unsafe. Time to clean house starting locally!

WE THE PEOPLE have no say in how governments govern nor how OUR money is spent. WE supposedly electRead More people who take the trust of the people with them when elected and do the will of WE THE PEOPLE. This has never happened. Especially in state and federal office. Once in office the power they discover they now have pushes aside the will of the people. It an attitude of we have the power and you don't. Someday, but I doubt it, we can elect those who will not loose site of why they were elected.

Beth - I am sorry to hear about your disappointment and I'll try to explain a few of your points.Read More First, Patch is a community forum as well as a news source. We have been looking for sports-minded folks to blog for us and keep us informed about events such as the softball team's state playoffs. We don't have a sports editor to cover just sports for the town so we rely on folks in the community to help us all stay informed. Many Patch sites have a sports blogger who reports on sports. Anyone interested?? In regard to the accident on No. High Street, you are correct in the fact that minimal information was reported and there was a reason for that - because minimal information was released to the press. We asked, we didn't get answers. And with our new format, there are 'bugs' in the system which are being worked out, so we apologize for all of them ahead of time, especially when links don't work or when spacing is off. It's frustrating, I understand. Please continue to support the EH Patch.
