About 2:30 pm November 4, police received a report concerning the theft of 20 aromatic decorative candles from Joyâs Hallmark, a greeting card and gift shop at Sand Hill Plaza at 228 South Main Street (Route 25), so they went there to investigate.

After receiving a description of the vehicle that the suspect was driving southward on Route 25, Newtown police contacted Monroe police to be on the lookout for the vehicle.

Monroe police spotted the suspectâs vehicle and stopped it in Trumbull, according to Newtown police Sergeant Christopher Vanghele.

Sgt Vahghele said that Anthony Olszewski, 41, of Waterbury had repeatedly entered the gift shop and illegally removed the decorative candles from the premises. The candles were enclosed inside glass jars.

Police estimated the value of the 20 stolen candles at approximately $600.

Police arrested Olszewski on charges of fourth-degree larceny and driving while under suspension, after which they held him on $1,500 bail for arraignment November 5 in Danbury Superior Court.

After reviewing records, police learned that Olszewski was wanted on warrants by Waterbury police and by Newington police.

The charges listed in those warrants include two counts of second-degree failure to appear in court, two counts of driving while under suspension, and one count each of possession of less than four ounces of marijuana, driving in the improper lane, failure to have automotive insurance, driving an unregistered vehicle, and a seat belt violation.

All I Ask Is That You Think About It

Let Your Voice Be Heard By Voting No, ‘Too High’

Budget should be cut by 20%, spending $2.65 million dollars per every week forever is absolutely unsustainable ! Do everything possible to Vote No on another nonsensical attempt to increase the cost of living ! Taxpayers are honestly just renting their houses from the town, it costs me $40 every night to sleep in my own bed ! Soon it will be cheaper living in a hotel than owning a property in Newtown !

Finance Board Moves $1 Million From Education Budget

I went and complaint to Rosenthall's father that the budget was too high at $80M several years ago, now we are at almost $140M . $2.65 million per week that is ! Fairfield hills should have long been developed by investors money and bring revenue to the town. WE ARE DRIVING OURSELVES OUT OF NEWTOWN by doing this and constantly raising the cost of living. It makes zero sense, any extra budget money gets burned on stupid stuff just so they can ask for more next year. Put an END TO THIS STUPIDITY and CUT THE BUDGET 20%. Everyone will be just fine ! Kids won't get any smarter anyway. That's an honest reality !

Why You Should Not Vote For The BOE Budget

Any common sensical person can do this job at under 100k salary. Way overhyped and overpaid at over $200k annual salary. We as voters have to put an end to this. Not to mention an assistant comes along with this job paid at 190k! What is wrong with you voters?

Melillo Announces Departure To Darien

Honestly, I don't know why anyone would ever vote to increase their taxes and give their money away.

Difficult To Vote For BOE Budget Without Specifics

The entire budget needs to be cut not raised. The proposed budget now would sit that we spend $2.65 million dollars every week. For population of less than 30k people it is absolutely absurd ! You cannot keep driving older folks out of town just to create a revolving door of parents who come here, educate their kids and run away ! There is no need to be paying 190K annual salary to an ASSISTANT to superintendent, not in the best interest of tax payers ! The voting turnout at 9% is ridiculous ! Lobby lawmakers to change the voting by mail, so everyone gets a ballot in the mail and at least 51% of residents vote to approve, otherwise the budget should not be approved if you don't have the majority ! Most folks don't even know when the vote is ! They have taxes bundled with mortgage and don't even know ! We are raising cost of living for everyone and it is absolutely not necessary.
