RIDGEFIELD – Days after two cars parked in a Bennetts Farm Road driveway were found with bullet holes, Ridgefield police said another car on that road also was shot.
Officers inspected the car Thursday evening and determined that the vehicle was struck by a single round while parked unoccupied outside the house, which is near the intersection of Bates Farm Road, according to a news release issued Friday.
On Monday, a single shot passed through the body of a car and then hit another in a driveway near the intersection of Bennetts Farm and Old Stagecoach roads, police said. No injuries were reported as both cars were unoccupied.
After learning about that incident, the owner of the third car decided to check his vehicle, which turned out to be shot, according to the release.
