Man Accused Of Putting GPS, Listening Device On Car: Norwalk Police

NORWALK, CT — A New York man accused of putting a GPS and listening device on a person's car was arrested Thursday on electronic stalking charges, according to Norwalk police.

In a news release, Deputy Chief Terrence Blake said the arrest stemmed from an incident reported July 4 in which a person found a GPS and listening device on the ground next to their car in a residential driveway.

Police prepared a search warrant to identify the owner of the GPS and secure its contents. After an investigation, police identified a 31-year-old Brewster, N.Y., man as the person who placed the device on the car, according to Blake.

The New York man was charged with electronic stalking. His bond was set at $30,000 and he is scheduled to appear in court this week, according to Blake.
