Wethersfield Police Issue Warning Over Fraudulent Speed Camera Notices

Hartford & New Haven, CT, September 10, 2026 —

WETHERSFIELD, CT – Law enforcement officials in Wethersfield are alerting residents to a surge in fraudulent speed camera violation notices that have recently been distributed. The Wethersfield Police Department has issued a public advisory urging caution and providing guidance on how to respond to these deceptive communications.

The notices, which appear to be official speed camera tickets, are reportedly being sent to individuals within the community. However, authorities have confirmed these are not legitimate citations issued by the Wethersfield Police or any authorized traffic enforcement agency. The specific origin and nature of the fraudulent scheme have not been detailed.

To combat this issue and gather more information, the Wethersfield Police Department is asking anyone who receives a suspicious speed camera violation notice to report it directly to them. This reporting mechanism is intended to help police track the extent of the fraudulent activity and to assist potential victims.

Residents are advised to exercise vigilance when reviewing any mail that claims to be a traffic violation. Details such as the issuing authority, payment methods, and contact information on the notices should be scrutinized. The police department has not provided specific examples of how these fraudulent notices differ from genuine ones, but emphasizes that any unexpected or dubious ticket should be treated with suspicion.

The department encourages the public to contact the Wethersfield Police Department directly with any questions or to report any suspicious tickets received. Further information regarding the investigation or the prevalence of these fraudulent notices may be released as it becomes available.
