On Thursday, April 25 just after 9 a.m., an EC Alert was sent out alerting residents in the 3000 block of Wildridge Road in Avon that there was police activity in the area. According to Avon Police Chief Greg Daly, the department apprehended a suspect regarding a financial crime on a senior victim.

Daly reported there was “no concern for public safety” and that it was “an isolated incident.”
