**NEWS RELEASE: TWO ARRESTED FOLLOWING INVESTIGATION INTO FALSE CARJACKING REPORT**

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Shelton Police Detective Bureau
By: Detective Sergeant C. Bitsco
Date: 10/13/2026

The Shelton Police Department responded to a reported carjacking in Shelton, prompting an investigation led by Detective Nugent. What initially appeared to be a serious criminal incident quickly became an investigation into an alleged fabricated report and false statements provided to Shelton Police.

Through diligent investigative work, Detectives reviewed surveillance footage from multiple locations, examined time-stamped photographs, and gathered additional evidence that contradicted the account initially provided to responding Officers. The investigation determined that the reported carjacking had not occurred as described.

On October 12, 2026, Kamran Raja, 29, and Danelly Diaz, 40, of New Brunswick, New Jersey, were arrested in connection with the investigation and are scheduled to appear in Derby Superior Court.

• Danelly Diaz, 40, was charged with Falsely Reporting an Incident (C.G.S. § 53a-180c).

• Kamran Raja, 29, was charged with Conspiracy to Falsely Report an Incident (C.G.S. §§ 53a-48 and 53a-180c).


FALSE REPORTS HAVE CONSEQUENCES.

This Detective Bureau is committed to combating crime, pursuing the facts, and holding individuals accountable when they provide false information to law enforcement. Our Detectives conduct thorough investigations, follow the evidence, and work tirelessly to uncover the truth.

Do not mistake a reported incident for a closed case. Our Detectives follow the evidence, and attempts to mislead law enforcement will be investigated.

Not in our City. Not in our Community.

**The charges in this news release are merely accusations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.**

**NEWS RELEASE: Shelton Police Detective Bureau Arrest Armed Robbery Suspect**

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Shelton Police Detective Bureau
By: Detective Sergeant C. Bitsco
Date: October 1, 2026

The Shelton Police Department Detective Bureau has arrested Paulo Dias, 54, of Trumbull, in connection with the armed robbery that occurred on September 30, 2026, at the In & Out Mini Market, 65 Howe Avenue.

During the robbery, Dias allegedly entered the business carrying what appeared to be a black fi***rm. He approached the cashier, pointed the fi***rm directly at the cashier’s head, and demanded money. The cashier complied with the demand, and Dias fled the business with stolen U.S. currency.

Dias was apprehended approximately seven hours after the robbery following an investigation by Shelton Police Detectives.

During the apprehension, Detectives recovered clothing believed to have been worn by Dias during the robbery, along with gloves, stolen U.S. currency, and a facsimile fi***rm.

Dias was charged with:

• Robbery 1st Degree
• Larceny 4th Degree
• Possession of a Controlled Substance
• Illegal Use of a Facsimile Fi***rm
• Criminal Possession of a Fi***rm
• Threatening 1st Degree – Armed

Dias is being held on a $750,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in Derby Superior Court.

The Shelton Police Department Detective Bureau remains committed to identifying and holding violent criminal offenders accountable. Violent crime will not be tolerated in our community.

I want to make it clear, to anyone who thinks they can come into our city and commit crimes and hide behind a mask, sunglasses, gloves, or a hooded sweatshirt, think again. There is no place to hide. Our Detectives will find you, identify you, and arrest you.

Our Detectives will continue to work diligently, professionally, and around the clock to investigate these offenses and bring those responsible to justice.

Not in our city. Not in our community.
