STAMFORD - Four Greenwich teenagers were arrested last night after officers found flat-screen televisions in two different cars, both allegedly robbed from Sportsplex, a fitness club on Brownhouse Road, city police said.

Officers were looking for suspects in an unrelated robbery on Fairfield Avenue when Officer Frank Forbes pulled into Rosa Hartman Park on Selleck Street and found two teenagers in a parked car with a large flat-screen TV in the back seat, police spokesman Lt. Sean Cooney said.


A house was struck by lightning in Milbrook Wednesday morning, according to a fire dispatcher.

The owner heard a loud explosion and immediately contacted the fire department, who arrived in minutes.

The house was not damaged and no one was injured, the dispatcher said.

Thunderstorms began early this morning and will likely linger throughout the day and into tomorrow, according to the National Weather Service.


A five car accident on North Street tied up the road for more than one hour, according to Sgt. John Thorme.
