FAIRFIELD, CT Five teens are charged in connection with an incident Thursday involving a machete, a chase through the streets of Fairfield and an ongoing dispute, according to police.
A resident called law enforcement just after 3 p.m. and reported several people had been chasing each other with weapons on Grasmere Avenue and then ran into a house, police said.
After an investigation, officers learned three teens Sean Beltran, 19; Alex Bueno, 18; and Arteyrius Smith, 18 had gone to the home of Dominic Caban, 19, and another teen who was a minor with the intention of continuing an existing dispute, according to police. Caban and the teen went outside to speak with Bueno, and wielded a machete when the conversation turned confrontational, chasing Bueno to Longview Avenue, where Beltran and Smith were standing, police said.
