Sometime overnight from July 31 to Aug. 1, two vehicles were entered while they were parked in driveways on the same street. Both vehicles were unlocked and parked in driveways on Pear Tree Point Road:

In one case, a 2013 Mercedes SUV was entered by a burglar sometime between 10:30 p.m. on Friday, July 31 and 1:45 p.m. the next day. A total of $50 in coins was taken. When police asked other residents of the neighborhood if their vehicles were also broken into, they found the owner of a 2006 Audi A8, who said the center console in his car had been opened overnight by someone and items in it were out of place. But nothing seemed to be missing, he said.

Twice in one week Darien residents were given the ultimate put-down by a burglar or burglars — the thief didn’t want their stuff. Two town residents told police their cars, each parked in the victim’s driveway, were entered overnight from June 18 to 19 (last Thursday to Friday), and a third vehicle burglary occurred a few days before but in two cases the stolen items were found by the side of a road. All the burglaries were in the Noroton section of town, and two of them happened close by each other; the other, within a couple of miles. One or more credit cards from one of the stolen wallets was used at a Target store in Connecticut, and police in that community have a suspect, so Darien police may be charging someone in connection with at least one of the thefts. Here are descriptions of each incident as given by Darien police:

Warner Drive

A 2010 Nissan Sentra parked in the driveway of a home on Warner Drive between 11 p.m. Thursday and 9 a.m. Friday was entered after the front passenger window was smashed.
