Berlin joins task force to target gun violence

When it comes to violent crimes involving a gun, the town has close to none on record. But in August 2012, Berlin police officers launched an investigation in search of two men who robbed a Burger King, on New Britain Road, at gunpoint.

The fast food chain is located just inside the town line from New Britain. No one was shot or hurt during the robbery, but a gun was displayed. The suspects, who may have fled to New Britain, are still at large.

In an effort to combat violent crimes in the central regional area, Berlin police will join New Britain, Plainville, Bristol, Newington, Southington, Central Connecticut State University and Hartford officers, state corrections and probation officials and an inspector from the chief state's attorney's office as part of the Greater New Britain Shooting Task Force.

The organization, led by the state attorney’s office in New Britain, will build on the success of similar units in Hartford and New Haven in an effort to lessen gun violence and improve public safety.
