FAIRFIELD, Conn. Vandals apparently armed with a BB or pellet gun damaged windows on 31 cars in southern Fairfield early Sunday morning, police say. The car windows were shattered or pierced in incidents stretching from Pine Creek Avenue to the Bridgeport border.
Police think the suspects might have come from a party at the Scandinavian club on South Pine Creek Road late Saturday night. A neighbor called to complain about noise just after midnight Sunday, but an officer only saw a group of cars leaving the scene and did not hear noise.
Starting at about 5 a.m. Sunday, police received 31 calls reporting vandalism to cars across Fairfield. Car windows were broken on Pine Creek Avenue, Round Hill Road, Mona Terrace, Dunnlea Road, Old Mill Road, Henry Street, Henderson Street, Rhoda Street, Garland Road, French Street and Commerce Drive.

? Mary Pagan, 48, of Bridgeport was charged with shoplifting at Kohls Department Store in Fairfield Saturday. Store security workers told police they saw Pagan remove the tags from $918 worth of jewelry and cosmetics and place the items into her purse. She then tried to leave the store without paying for the items, after buying three childrens outfits, they said. Fairfield Police charged her with fifth-degree larceny and released her on a promise to appear in court on Dec. 6.

She was charged with disorderly conduct, threatening and reckless endangerment. She was released on a $250 bond and is due in court to face charges Monday.
