PUTNAM — Aug. 27 the Putnam Police Department was called to a local business for a reported shoplifting attempt.
The officer recognized the suspect as Kayla Link, aka Kayla Gould, 35. She was the subject of numerous arrest warrants including felonies from Connecticut and Massachusetts, according to Putnam Police Chief Christopher D. Ferace.
