Police early Monday arrested a 22-year-old New Canaan man in connection with the theft of three cellphones from a local business. At approximately 1:11 p.m. on July 19, officers were dispatched to the newly opened AT&T store on Elm Street on a report that three iPhones had been stolen, according to a police report. The devices were worth a combined $1,800, the report said. The store manager identified a store employee and resident of Millport Avenue as a suspect. During the subsequent investigation, the man confessed to taking the cellphones.

By |

An AT&T retail store is planned to open on Elm Street. 

The telecom company’s signature blue-and-white lettering appears on an awning at 155 Elm St. The 928-square-foot commercial space has been vacant since Gingerbitz closed last summer. Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Tucker Murphy said, “This store will certainly benefit all the AT&T customers in town who would otherwise leave town to get to an AT&T store and then they are gone and shopping elsewhere.” According to Karen Twomey, senior public relations manager for AT&T New England, the store will be authorized retailer Mobily’s second in Connecticut. “It is what we call our classic store design” Twomey said in an email.
