Middletown Police Snag 544 in Weekend Stop and Shop Stake-Out

Members of the Middletown Police Department, and several volunteers, spent the weekend at the doors of Stop and Shop, on East Main Street, questioning likely suspects who would donate to the annual turkey drive.

As a result, the department collected 544 frozen turkeys which were loaded into a truck and will be distributed in partnership with the Middletown Community Thanksgiving project, to families in need during the holiday.

MPD also collected $707 in donations for the cause.
