Today's riddle: How do billboards talk? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. TikTok Comment Becomes Clue In Enfield Man's Robbery Case (patch.com) — Enfield residents are learning how a TikTok comment and DNA evidence helped police connect a 45-year-old Enfield man to a 2025 armed robbery at a Wethersfield Motel 6. The report details the alleged kidnapping and robbery, the victim's minor injuries, and the high bond, while stressing that the Enfield suspect remains presumed innocent.
2. Watch: Conn. Police Use Fake Dirt Bike Ad to Catch Theft Suspects (officer.com) — Enfield police recently ran a sting operation using a fake online dirt bike ad at a local storage facility, leading to three arrests tied to dirt bike and ATV thefts. Officers waited in a nearby unit, chased the suspects on foot, and used a K-9 to locate one in the woods. All three men now face multiple burglary and related charges with high bonds set.
3. Kissel faces challenge from Kiner in state Senate race (wfsb.com) — Enfield residents will see hometown Republican Sen. John Kissel face Democrat David Kiner in a closely watched state Senate race, with affordability and energy costs at the center of debate.

4. Crews battle condo fire in East Windsor, no injuries reported (wfsb.com) — Enfield firefighters were among several departments called to help battle a condo fire in East Windsor's Broad Brook section Wednesday afternoon, where three attached units filled with smoke but no one was hurt.
