NEW LONDON, Conn. (AP) - Police say a woman who had climbed into a Connecticut supermarket's trash compactor suffered potentially life-threatening injuries when a store employee turned it on with her inside. New London police say emergency personnel responded to the NSA Supermarket at about 3:15 p.m. Wednesday where they found the severely injured but conscious woman inside the industrial compactor. She was pulled free and taken to the hospital with undisclosed injuries. She was not a store employee. Police tell The Day that store employees had been looking for the woman, who they suspected of stealing. Her name wasn't made public. The investigation is ongoing.
