     STATE POLICE MAKE ARREST

IN 4 YEARCRIMINAL INVESITGATION

On February 07, 2008 State Police Detective of the State Police Western District Major Crime Squad arrested accused Thomas Marra, , of 139 Lee Avenue, Bridgeport, the arrest taking place at State Police Troop-G in Bridgeport. Accused Marra was arrested on nine arrest warrants, consisting of over 80 felony counts and misdemeanor counts. The charges are related to narcotics sales (heroin, cocaine, Oxycontin, Methadone), a medical script/pharmacy scheme, larcenies/burglaries, financial crimes, and harassment. 

At the time of this arrest, Marra was free on three separate bonds, stemming from an August 24, 2007 State Police arrest for narcotics violations, a September 24, 2007 State Police arrest of Marra for narcotics violations, and a January 23, 2008 Bridgeport Police arrest of Marra for larceny/burglary. 

The Connecticut State Police investigation into Marra began when leads were developed into a March 4, 2004 burglary of a Southbury home.   This burglary involved the theft of a safe from the Southbury home that contained approximately $90,000.00 in valuables, including cash, jewelry, and a handgun. 

State Police Detectives continued their investigation into Marra, which revealed that Marra was selling narcotics in the greater Bridgeport area.  Corroboration between the State Police Western District Major Crime Squad, State Police Statewide Organized Crime Task Force, State Police Northwest Statewide Narcotics Task Force, the State Police Gangs Unit, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and consultation with the Division of Criminal Justice culminated in a more extensive investigation into Marra alleged criminal associates. 

This in-depth investigation determined that Marra had engaged in a variety of criminal activities as cited above, often with co-conspirators.  This information was utilized to obtain arrest the arrest warrants for Marra.
