2. Police Investigating Illegal Auto Repair Businesses In Norwalk: PD (patch.com) — Norwalk residents are being urged to double-check that any auto repair shop they use is properly licensed, as local police, fire officials, and zoning inspectors crack down on illegal garages operating in the city.

3. Police Seek Information About Motorcycle, Pickup Truck Crash In Norwalk: PD (patch.com) — Norwalk police are asking for the public's help after a weekend crash between a motorcycle and a pickup truck at Westport and Lufberry avenues. The accident reconstruction team is investigating and wants to hear from anyone who saw the collision or has information, offering both phone and email contacts for potential witnesses.
   

4. Connecticut house listings rise in September, but mortgage rates sideline first-time buyers (ctpost.com) — Norwalk homebuyers are facing a 14% jump in the median sale price, now nearing $721,000, even as local listings and sales both decline. Statewide, more homes are hitting the market, but mortgage rates above 7% are sidelining many first-time buyers, leaving better-financed households and out-of-state movers from New York driving competition and prices in Norwalk and nearby towns.
