ANSONIA — Police have a suspect in the disappearance of a snowplow from the Public Works Department complex on North Division Street earlier this month, a city source confirmed Tuesday.
The source said a public works employee has been placed on administrative leave in connection with the investigation.
According to police Lt. Andrew Cota, the snowplow was reported missing March 16.
Tara Kolakowski, acting personnel director, said the Board of Public Works will hold a fact-finding hearing in 10 days concerning the matter. “That is procedure,” she said.
Karen Blake, a member of the board, said Tuesday she had not yet been notified about when a hearing would take place.
Superintendent of Public Works Michael Schryver could not be reached for comment.
Calls and emails to several aldermen and city officials were not returned late Tuesday.
