Crime along the Merritt

Greenwich police report a string of burglaries along the “Merritt Corridor”.  The term refers to the preference of thieves for an easy on/ easy off commute. They come up the Hutch from the City and fan out along the Merritt’s exits to do their business, then jump back on the highway and tootle on home to familiar turf and fences (which are a different sort than the white pickets one we’re so fond of here in Greenwich). This phenomenon has been going on for years yet one resident is quoted in Greenwich Time as saying he’d never heard of the problem. Had he been my client, he would have. As a reader, now you have, too. Watch out for homes too close to Merritt exits and entrances. And keep a big dog.
