The town's parking czar wants to install surveillance cameras in the Greenwich Plaza commuter garage, where police say vehicle thefts, break-ins and general security are legitimate concerns.
"Sure, the Plaza's had a lot of problems over the years," Police Chief David Ridberg said. "I can remember personally making some arrests there. They were stealing cars for a long time. "
From the beginning of 2007 through the end of 2009, five cars were stolen from the garage and an additional 16 were burglarized, according to the parking services department. The figure did not include acts of vandalism or general complaints about safety.
Allen Corry, the town's parking services director, is seeking budgetary approval to spend $36,000 on the installation of cameras and boxes housing the surveillance equipment.....
