The Bedford police are currently investigating a home invasion on Saturday, May 5, on Broad Brook Road in Bedford Hills. Bedford Hills Fire Department personnel responded to the same residence the next night following the report of a barn fire.

“Certainly this is alarming — anytime anyone’s home is invaded by an outsider is an alarming experience,” said Bedford Police Chief William Hayes in a Monday afternoon press conference in front of the Bedford police station. “At this time, both events are being investigated as separate incidents.”

Police received a panic alarm alert on Saturday night at 9:40 p.m. This was followed by a 911 call by a female resident stating an armed burglar was in the house, according to Chief Hayes.

Police maintained phone contact with the woman, who told police that she had been wounded in a struggle with the intruder before locking herself in an upstairs room. She described the intruder as a male dressed in black wearing a ski mask, armed with either a small-caliber or BB gun.

Meanwhile, officers arrived on the scene. The homeowner told officers he had been confronted by an armed man while he was smoking a cigarette outside the garage. Read more >

It’s said that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, and the hundreds who turned out to the Town of Bedford’s dump last weekend for a two-day tag sale would certainly attest to that.

“We look forward to this every year, and actually start a countdown in January to the tag sale each spring,” said Kandy Farnsworth, who was browsing for bargains with a handful of friends at the sale on Friday. “There is always great stuff here, and we make it fun together. This is our 14th year coming with our little group. I guess we’re ‘The Dump Girls.’”

This marked the 36th year that the Bedford Village Chowder & Marching Club held its annual tag sale, which serves as the main fundraiser for the organization.

Last Friday and Saturday, scores of volunteers and a fleet of trucks donated for the event by local residents and businesses made home pickups of unwanted items, transporting the discarded stuff to the town’s highway facility on Crusher Road. There, Chowder & Marching Club members and other volunteers sorted through the furniture, clothing, household goods, sporting equipment, toys, knick-knacks, collectibles and other items that are then sold at bargain prices at the massive tag sale.  Read more >
