A break-in was attempted at a house on Little Brook Road North last Wednesday, Oct. 21, between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., when the homeowner saw pry marks on a damaged front door. The door was still locked when the homeowner discovered the pry marks, so it appears the burglar or burglars weren’t able to open the door to get inside the house in the southeast quarter of the town, a bit north of Tokeneke Road. Police asked around the neighborhood, but nobody else saw anything or said they had anything stolen. The incident occurred on the same day as a daytime burglary on Talmadge Hill Road at the far northern end of town.

Police suspect a burglary of a home Wednesday on Talmadge Hill Road (first reported, exclusively, by Darienite.com on Thursday) may be connected to other recent burglaries in Norwalk and New Canaan and possibly older ones in Darien. Police gave this account of the Talmadge Hill Road burglary:

Sometime between 9:30 a.m., when the husband and wife who live there left their home, and 10 a.m., entry was made into the home through an exterior garage door and forcing open an interior door between the garage and the rest of the house. The house has an alarm system, but it wasn’t on at the time. A jewelry box was taken from the master bedroom on the first floor, and an end table had been forced open. In a closet, a lockable fire box in a drawer of the end table was missing.

A Hoyt Street home was entered by someone while a family was on vacation for much of August, but although jewelry was left on the floor of one room and papers strewn about in it, nothing appears to have been taken, police said. The family was away from their home on Hoyt Street, not far from Holmes School, from Aug. 9 to 27. When they returned, family members found a back door unlocked and jewelry and papers were taken from drawers and thrown on the floor in the master bedroom on the second floor. The back door of the house was unlocked, although the house had been locked up when the family went away.
