She allegedly asked to use a cell phone, and one of the men gave her a phone, which she used to contact a friend for a ride. She stated that asked if she could use a lighter, and one of the men went into a house, and then returned, telling her in Spanish, “I have a lighter for you.”

Morning Bank Robbery in Stamford

Stamford's First County Bank, located at 275 Hope Street, was robbed this morning by a black female suspect.

According to Stamford police, the woman, who weighs between 200-220 pounds, robbed the bank by slipping a note to a teller that demanded money and warned that there were armed men outside.

The suspect fled on foot with an undetermined sum of money, evading police dogs that were used to track her scent. An investigation into the robbery is ongoing.

Search For A Missing Teen Goes Nationwide

Update: .

The family of a Middletown teen missing since Thursday has extended its search nationwide in an effort to get the word out to as many people as possible.

At a sobering and at times emotional press conference Monday afternoon at Middletown Police headquarters, longtime family friend Sharon Factor Hartstein said a Facebook page has been set up, Find Nathan Carman, after yesterday's search in New Haven turned up no leads.

"I combed all of New Haven with all the help that came down in the rain — it was amazing," Nathan's father said at the conference. "You’re out there, walking in the rain, checking the union station there, checking all the cabbies that were coming and going, given them flyers, asking them ..."

When asked how he and Nathan's mother Linda are holding up, Clark was blunt. "Not real well. It’s been what, five days now? Difficult ... difficult."

He made a plea to the cameras in the hopes Nathan would be watching — a message just for his son.

Anyone with any information or who spots Nathan is asked to call 911 or their local police department.
