The Sound publishes a Police Incident Report to inform residents of incidents, criminal activities, and police responses occurring in Branford and North Branford. As those charged are presumed innocent until proven guilty, the report does not include names. It may be edited for length and content.
Due to the holidays, the North Branford report was unavailable. We will add the incidents to next week’s report.
