Sometime overnight between Sunday and Monday, Dec. 2 and 3, a store on the Post Road was burglarized after a rear door was forcibly entered — but the store owner reported only $40 missing from the cash register, police said.
While the UPS Store in the Goodwives Shopping Center was closed overnight from Wednesday to Thursday, Sept. 5 to 6, a thief entered the store, according to a video reviewed by Darien police. Police gave this account of the incident:
The thief, described only as a person “who appears to be a white male with glasses,” entered the store from the back door, pried open three computers and removed the hard drives. The man also took $600 in cash from the cash registers. Then the thief turned off the power to the cameras, which is when the video surveillance record ends.
When cash was missing from the register for the second time at Embody Fitness Gourmet in the Noroton Heights Shopping Center, management reviewed video surveillance records and found someone sneaking into the store overnight, police said. That person and another man, both from Stamford, have been arrested and charged with burglary and larceny on several occasions in January and February, stealing a somewhere between $1,500 and $1,600, in total, police said. Gillen Bryan, owner of Embody, said he recognized the employees from the video recordings. He said he was surprised to find these two former employees taking money. “I didn’t think they would burglarize,” he said.
