Catch of the week: 'Danbury woman, man arrested on burglary charges'

The headline of Susan Tuz's News Times article, "Danbury woman, man arrested on burglary charges" is quite confusing. In order for me to understand what the headline meant, I had to click on the link and read the lead, which explains that a "25-year-old Danbury woman and her alleged getaway driver were arrested Saturday morning on burglary charges, police said" (Tuz).

The headline could have more understandable if an "and" had been used instead of a coma: "Danbury woman and man arrested on burglary charges," and I don't know why this was not considered before the article was released.
