STRATFORD — Stratford Police Officer Mark Lecardo was working a private duty job last July when a woman approached him saying she had just been sexually assaulted. The woman said the suspect had gotten on a bus headed west. Lecardo hopped in his private vehicle, intercepted the bus and ordered the suspect off. The man ran. Lecardo pursued and tackled the man, detaining him after a struggle — and found the suspect had a stolen gun on him. Lecardo received the department’s Combat Cross for his actions in arresting the suspect, one of more than a dozen awards handed out during a ceremony Wednesday at the Riverview Bistro.
