FBI Seeking Information - Berkshire Armored Car Service Robbery
On January 31, 2002, the Berkshire Armored Car Service, located in Rutland, Vermont, was robbed of approximately two million dollars. The robbery occurred during the early morning hours when a lone armed male suspect surprised one of the armored car guards as he reported for work. The suspect then forced the guard to let him into the armored car facility. Once inside, the unknown suspect disarmed a second guard already inside and handcuffed and tied up both guards. The suspect then entered the company's vault, removed money bags from the vault, and placed the bags into a vehicle. The suspect then fled the scene in the vehicle. ... [Read More]
Funding For Rutland State Airport
If the Rutland Airport is denied EAS funding, it would have a disastrous impact on Rutland’s economic future. Specifically, the community’s ability to attract new business to the area would be seriously impaired with an estimated loss of some $5.2 million in economic activity. The loss of income tax alone on the $5.2 million would exceed the $653,000 in EAS funding that the Rutland airport is projected to receive this year. This is in addition to the loss of employment that causes all businesses to suffer as local residents have less money to spend. ... [Read More]
Rural Health Policy - Vermont
The Health Coalition for Housing Initiative (HCHI) will serve 253 persons in 5 Housing and Urban Development (HUD) congregate housing sites in Rutland County, Vermont, the second largest county in the State. The housing sites comprise a mix of 72 percent low-income elderly and 28 percent low-income younger persons with disabilities. The target population, which is 99 percent Caucasian and 1 percent African American, demonstrates an urgent need for mental health treatment, in particular for depression, but has virtually no access to mental health care. Many of the residents have interconnected problems, such as substance abuse problems. The unmet need for appropriate mental health care is leading to the eviction of some residents, which in turn results in homelessness, criminal behavior and/or inpatient psychiatric committal for tenants who need only a small amount of assistance to be able to maintain a lease. ...

Rutland
It has been said that Rutland is to Burlington what Chicago is to New York City. In other words, if Burlington is a city for entrepreneurs, then Rutland is a working class city where family ties and the more traditional values of this country remain strong. Rutland is a popular crossroads in Vermont: Routes 4 and 7 converge here and remind us that this intersection once served as an important railroad crossing. The marble and granite industries gave birth to Rutland's economy, which today is fueled by more than just tourists who spend dollars on the way to Killington and Pico ski resorts. Rutland is the center for commerce in the Lower Champlain Valley, and it is an important national link for Vermont's economy. ... [Read More]

Heroin - Vermont Drug Threat Assessment
Anecdotal information indicates that heroin is frequently available in many areas in Vermont. Local law enforcement officials arrested a number of heroin distributors in a series of raids in Bennington, Plainfield, and Rutland in September 2000, seizing 30 glassine bags of heroin in Bennington, over 70 bags in Plainfield, and more than 1,000 bags in Rutland. Seven of the 12 arrestees in Rutland and the 2 in Bennington were under 22 years of age. One arrestee in the Rutland raid reported that he had transported 20,000 glassine bags of heroin to Vermont during the 7-month period preceding the raid. The individual reportedly had purchased the heroin from a Dominican criminal group in New York City. In September 2001 Barre police officers arrested eight individuals for selling heroin and seized heroin with an estimated value of $10,000 and $1,600 in cash. ... [Read More]
