Phone scam, fraudulent charges

The credit card company removed the fraudulent charges and there was no financial loss, police said.
The victim was advised to contact the Social Security Administration, the three major credit bureaus, banks he has accounts with and Spectrum.
Domestic incident
A 49-year-old Hurd Avenue woman allegedly assaulted a male during a domestic incident Monday night.

Stolen vehicle recovered, possible drugs
A Monroe man told police he found items in his vehicle, which he believed to be drugs, after it was stolen in Trumbull on Friday and later recovered in Bridgeport.
Monroe officers disposed of the items. Officers do not test narcotics when there are no charges due to the dangers of potentially handling fentanyl.
