Darien police say they’ve received two more reports of vehicles that may have been burglarized on the same night that police arrested five boys for entering about a dozen others in the southwest corner of town. A resident of Concord Lane and a resident of Glenwood Road each reported that vehicles were entered. Their reports join others on Glenwood Road, Anthony Lane and Hollow Tree Ridge Road from the incident overnight from Friday to Saturday, June 18 to 19. In every single case, the cars entered were unlocked. In one of the two latest reports, a Glenwood Drive resident said three vehicles parked outside the house were entered.

Police: Five Teenagers Arrested After Stealing from 11 Unlocked Vehicles Overnight

By David Gurliacci | June 20, 2016

Five teenagers ranging in age from 15 to 17 years old were arrested on burglary charges early Saturday morning after an Anthony Lane resident called police to say that they seemed to be entering parked vehicles. Police, who got the call at about 5:30 a.m., described the incident and arrest with this account (including accusations not proven in court):

The Anthony Lane resident heard his vehicle’s car alarm go off shortly before he made the call and saw the teenagers in the area. Several police officers went to the area and found the group walking south on Hillside Avenue. They matched the description the resident gave them. All of the teenage boys are from Stamford and range in age from 15 years old (one of them) to 16 (three of them) to 17 (the fifth).
