Sometime overnight Tuesday to Wednesday last week (June 5 to 6), two cars were reported to have been entered as well as a house, and a bicycle was missing from the porch of another house, Darien police said. All of the cars entered and the two other thefts were within two blocks of each other on the Post Road in Noroton, near the Darien YMCA. Here’s what police said they were told:
5 Seagate Road — Vehicle and Home
A woman told police she parked her vehicle in the driveway at about 11:30 p.m. She didn’t lock it (although for years the same area of town has had numerous incidents of unlocked cars being entered by thieves). The next morning, at 7:30, she went to the car and found the driver’s door ajar and the contents of the glove box strewn about. Nothing seemed to be missing.
