Seven Darien police officers have been commended by Police Chief Duane Lovello for their work in arresting two teenagers accused of overnight thefts from 14 vehicles parked on and around Intervale Road in May. In a memo that Lovello shared with the Police Commission last week, he praised the seven officers for good teamwork in setting up a perimeter and arresting the two after police started getting calls from residents at about 5:30 a.m. on May 4. “The rapid and coordinated response of the officers resulted in a most positive outcome,” Lovello said in his memo. As recounted later that day in Darienite.com, (with quotes from a police news release):
[O]n Devon Road, Officers Daniel Noto and Daniel Gorton found a subject who matched the caller’s description. Police determined the subject, a 17-year-old Stamford boy, was one of the two burglars, and they arrested him.
