Redding Police are investigating an assault and robbery that happened in the parking lot of the Days Inn on Route 7. A woman reported sitting in the back lot on Thursday, when a man and woman got into her car. The motel employee told police that the man took 100-dollars from her. Police have not released the identity of the woman, but say the victim recognized her as a former friend from Torrington. An arrest warrant is being submitted to Danbury Superior Court at this time. The man was described as a slender white male who appeared to be in his late 20’s with a short mustache and goatee and dark brown hair. The case remains under investigation.
