A resident of a home on Pleasant Street yelled a burglar rummaging around in a vehicle parked in the garage late at night on Saturday, Feb. 21, then locked the door leading into the house and called police. When police arrived, the burglar was gone, out the open window that had been used to get into the garage. Police found a bicycle stuck half-way out the window, apparently in an attempt to steal it as the burglar fled. The incident occurred during a week when unlocked vehicles were being entered by thieves overnight in the same area.

On Monday, while homeowners of a Delafield Island Road home were away last weekend, a house sitter discovered that the house had been burglarized, Darien police said. The burglary would have occurred sometime between noon on Friday, Jan. 13 and Monday, just before 10 a.m., when the sitter — who had spent time on the first floor, but not on the second — took something upstairs, only to find bedrooms and an office ransacked. The house is in the area of the intersection of Delafield Island Road and Tory Hole Road. The sitter recalled that on Friday or Saturday the front coat closet was opened, which seemed odd — but the sitter didn’t think anything more about it and closed the door.

When police arrived at the front of an Andrews Drive home a little after 8:42 p.m. on Friday, they saw the front door had been split open, with the door’s deadbolt lock still intact and attached to the frame. But it appeared nothing was disturbed inside the home — police suspect the burglar or burglars who broke in were scared when the alarm sounded. At about 8:15 p.m., the alarm company had called a relative of the couple who live there (and who were away from home); he went to the house and called police.

Doors were left open after a Hollow Tree Ridge Road house was burglarized, but the burglary wasn’t discovered until several hours after a resident arrived back home, and despite a neighbor noticing doors open, police said. Jewelry was taken, but the resident was still compiling a list at the time the police report was written up. Darien police described the burglary this way:

Residents were away from the home on the “600 block” of the street for days from Dec. 27 to Tuesday, Jan. 3, when a woman who lives at the house arrived there at about 8 p.m.

On Monday, Jan.
