A group of New Canaan youth were each issued an infraction for possession of alcohol on September 4, according to police.

While patrolling , an officer spotted four male youths on a trail behind , one of whom kicked a beer can away from the group, Sgt. Carol Ogrinc said.

Resident Reports Credit Card Fraud

Police are investigating the fraudulent use of a 22-year-old New Canaan woman's credit card by an individual who then requested she mail the items to Alabama, police said. 

The woman noticed two purchases made with her debit card on Aug. 29, one of which was a portable Playstation PSP for $255.96 and a purchase on an online pet store $19.99, according to Ogrinc. 

Both items were delivered to the woman's home and an individual — potentially the person responsible for the fraudulent purchase — emailed the woman requesting that she mail the items to Alabama. The incident is still under investigation, said Ogrinc.

I just called Staples. This is really disturbing to me. If I don't get a satisfactory answer, IRead More will let people know and I will also decide whether to continue shopping there. I do not like to give my money to unethical businesses.

This has convinced my growing conviction that Patch has moved completely away from any pretense ofRead More being a news source and is simply an electronic bulletin board. By abandoning their prior procedure of approving posts before they go up, they are letting anything go on and then taking them down if they're reported. By then, it's too late: the poster has gotten their message across during the time it's in the lineup. I only check in with Patch occasionally now and so many people in town won't read it at all anymore. I think we need to be honest with ourselves about what kind of a public forum this venue is. This doesn't reflect well on Staples if they are using subterfuge and violating Terms of Use on Patch either.

New Canaan hockey players are better off playing at Sono, Ridgefield or Stamford Youth Hockey.
