Residents of the Second Stone Ridge community say the city cleaned up more than 100 old car tires that dumped in their backyard in the 24 hours after the News 12 broadcast.
News 12 first reported the illegal dumping on Stone Ridge Road a week ago.
“Our residents are very grateful and happy because this is not a dumping ground. This is a place where people live,” says resident Steven Nelson.
Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim added that “crimes against the quality of life and illegal dumping of any kind will not be tolerated and will be prosecuted by our department.”
Bridgeport says anyone convicted of illegal dumping can lose both their license and their vehicle.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to call Bridgeport Police at 203-576-TIPS.
