Investigating a burglary of a Holmes Court home that occurred Thursday afternoon, Darien police got a description of two males that fit a very similar description of a boy and a man arrested in Stamford. Police are still investigating the case and haven’t made any arrests, but they gave this account of the matter:

At about 2:30 p.m., residents returned to the house but didn’t immediately see that anything was missing until about 3 p.m., when they called police. There was no forced entry into the home. Missing: an Xbox One video game console, several video games, an iPad tablet computer, two Toshiba laptop computers and about $300 missing from a wallet in a nightstand drawer. Police found nothing else in the neighborhood seemed to be disturbed.

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.
