A 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLS on Inwood Road was entered sometime on or just before Saturday, Sept. 20, and a wallet and several other personal items was stolen from the SUV, Darien police were told. The vehicle had not been locked, police said.
A Jeep Grand Cherokee was stolen overnight last week on Bittersweet Lane, and elsewhere in town, on a different night last week, vehicles were entered overnight, resulting in at least one theft, Darien police said. All the vehicles were unlocked. Police gave this account of the incidents:
The Grand Cherokee was stolen overnight Saturday to Sunday, Aug. 9 to 10. The keys to the vehicle were “possibly inside” it, police said in a news release.
A wallet was stolen after a thief smashed a window of a 2019 Nissan Rogue SUV parked outside a house somewhere on West Avenue, Darien police said. The victim discovered the theft on Saturday, Jan. 4. Police went to the scene at 4:18 p.m. Police did not say in what area of West Avenue the incident took place or the time span in which it occurred. Police have said in the past that nearly all thefts from motor vehicles occur when the vehicle is left unlocked.
