NORWALK By STEVE KOBAK Hour Staff Writer A 21-year-old city man was charged Friday with participating in two of the string of delivery-man robberies that took place in Norwalk in late 2009. Daniel Smith, who is currently incarcerated at the Bridgeport Correctional Center, was answering to charges stemming from a March 2009 armed robbery when police served a warrant for his arrest in court. Police arrested Smith on June 9 on a warrant for the March 2009 robbery and investigators had said Smith was likely involved in other area robberies. The latest allegations against Smith stem from two separate pizza delivery-man robberies that took place in December 2009. Smith is alleged to have taken part in the Dec. 2 robbery of an East Avenue Pizza employee. The victim in that case was lured to a fake address on Ohio Avenue and robbed by two men, one of whom held a machete to the victim's throat, police said. The thieves took some cash, two pizzas and a GPS from the victim, police said.

The boys were taking sailing lessons at the Tokeneke Club -- a private beach club in Darien -- and heavy winds blew their dinghies into the sound, police said. The Marine Unit received a radio transmission about the sailing mishap at 10:48 a.m. and three officers set out to rescue the boys, according to police. The officers came upon an 8-year-old boy whose vessel had capsized near a buoy and they pulled him aboard the police boat, police said. The boy was crying and nervous but uninjured, according to police. Meanwhile, a lobsterman had located two of the young sailors between Green's Ledge and Sheffield Island and pulled them onto his lobster boat, police said.
