FAIRFIELD — A couple, suspected in a series of local thefts, was arrested Thursday afternoon on drug charges.
Police had put out an alert to officers for a tan, Saturn station wagon linked to a series of thefts over the last several weeks. A patrol officer spotted the Saturn parked on the Post Road, near Grasmere Avenue, around 1 p.m. The car’s tailgate was open and the officer saw large boxes and construction tools in the car.
Upon checking the registration, the officer found it had expired and stopped the car. Noticing what appeared to be needle marks on Shaun Costello’s arms, the officer asked if there was anything illegal in the car.
