FAIRFIELD — An unlikely find at a Metro-North station in Fairfield — A 100-year-old tortoise!
According to the NYPD, the rare African spurred tortoise was stolen from an environmental center in Queens, New York a week ago.
On Tuesday, a person in Fairfield called 911 to report a man at the train station trying to trade the rare reptile for a musk turtle. Police responded and took custody of the tortoise but the man looking to make the trade, is on the run, according to police.
