Supposed Victim Turns Into Suspected Liar

On Wednesday, Detectives with the Danbury Police Department arrested 38-year-old Diego Vizhco, for falsely reporting a robbery on Newtown Road on September 10. Vizhco initially told police that he and his family had been kidnapped at gunpoint in the parking lot of Stop and Shop Supermarket on Newtown Road, after which he was forced to drive to the Bank of America on Main Street, withdraw cash and then drive back to Newtown Road. He claimed that the alleged gunman took the money and fled. But now, after a thorough investigation, detectives have determined that the robbery never occurred… the whole thing was made up. Vizhco is facing charges including 2nd Degree False Incident Report. He was jailed, and his bond was set at $10,000.
