Police said a Greenwich resident noticed suspicious activity on her credit card statement last month, and an investigation found that an unknown party used the woman's credit card without permission to have a part for a Glock pistol delivered to the woman's home.

On Jan. 5, plainclothes Greenwich police officers conducted surveillance and identified two suspects who they believe conspired to retrieve the package from the woman's home, police said.
