Police are seeking information from the community in a shoplifting last week at Mobil Gas Station on Church Hill Road.

According to just-released reports, the shoplifting took place December 6 at about 7:30 p.m. Police say a light-skinned Hispanic man with dark, curly hair and a "skinny" beard walked into the gas station and asked where bread and milk were. After getting them, he allegedly asked the clerk for a carton of Newport 100 cigarettes.

After his credit card was declined, police say the man grabbed the carton and left the gas station in a "newer model silver Nissan Maxima with a sun roof and unknown plates."

Police say the man is about six feet tall and 220 pounds. He was wearing a black North Face fleece and blue jeans, according to reports.

Police ask anyone with information to contact Officer Figol of the Newton Police Department at 203-426-5841.

While I have no desire to view any of these death certificates, the law is the law. I have neverRead More viewed a death certificate, I doubt there is anything listed beyond the name of the decedent, dates of birth & death, parentage, and cause of death. Town Clerk Aurelia is clearly in violation of her oath of office. Her job is not to be administered based on feelings. In doing this she is opening the town up to F.O.I. violations, potential litigation, and fanning the flames of the crazy conspiracy theories. To quote the article, "we feel its an extreme invasion of privacy for these families." Should someone take this to F.O.I. or put it before a judge the town will lose. Do your job as required by statute.

Exactly why do you need to read these reports Elmer Davis? The cause of death was gunshot wounds.Read More Why do you need more than that, and why do you feel your curiosity for details outweigh the need for privacy? I agree with Aurelia and support her. You're acting like the Connecticut Council on Freedom is a government agency. It is a non-profit foundation and the quote from James Smith is only an opinion. It certainly does NOT carry any more weight than anyone else's, including mine, the victim's families, and the vast majority of decent people living in this town.
