New Canaan Woman, 24, Charged with Selling Heroin After Police Raid Home

A 24-year-old New Canaan woman sold narcotics to an undercover police officer on two different occasions, resulting in a raid on her home on March 2 and her arrest, town police said.

The officer bought narcotics from Elizabeth Hanson of 73 River St. as part of an “extensive investigation into the illegal sale of narcotics and controlled substances from that address,” according to an announcement made by Police Chief Leon Krolikowski.

In a search of the house, police found a small amount of heroin and empty bags containing heroin residue in Hanson’s bedroom.

She was charged with two counts of illegal possession of narcotics and two counts of illegal sale of narcotics. She was released on a promise to appear March 12 (last Thursday) in state Superior Court in Norwalk.

According to the Connecticut Judicial Branch website, Hanson sold the drugs to the officer on Feb. 5 and Feb. 12. She is next scheduled to appear March 20 in court.

Krolikowski, in announcing the arrest, praised the Police Department’s Investigations Division and Sgt. Andrew Walsh, who led the investigation.
