Hamden Police have arrested a woman for allegedly robbing Connex Credit Union on Dixwell Avenue in Hamden.
Officers responded to reports of a robbery at the bank’s 2100 Dixwell Ave. branch location on Wednesday around 12:45 p.m. According to a Thursday press release from the police department, the suspect entered the credit union and passed a note to the bank teller demanding money. No weapons were displayed, and nobody was injured.
The Hamden Police Department’s crime unit identified a 36-year old Hamden woman as a suspect soon after the robbery, and arrested her that evening.
The arrestee was held on a $20,000 bond and charged with robbery in the third degree and larceny in the second degree.
Why is there no woman named?? If it were a cop or a teacher or a priest or a Republican, the name would be splattered all over the media. They don't even try to hide their biases anymore!!
[Editor: We periodically get this question and repeat the answer many many times. I would think you remember! We never name the accused unless we have their side; there's been a conviction; there's an immediate threat to public safety; or a public figure is involved, like a mayor or high-ranking officer. We do not distinguish among Republicans or Democrats, beat cops or imams. This has been our policy for 17 years, since we launched. We do not splatter the names or mug shots of arrestees on our website; never have.]
