A woman saw a white car back into her driveway on Leroy Avenue at about 6 p.m., while it was still twilight, Friday and thought someone she knew was visiting. Then she saw someone go into her unlocked vehicle.
Sunset that day was at 5:41 p.m.
Darien police gave this additional account of the incident, which was reported at 6:07 p.m.
The suspect, a male wearing a baseball hat and “face covering,” as police described it, saw the woman and ran back to his car. The woman didn’t see anything missing from her vehicle, perhaps because she interrupted the would-be thief.
The aborted theft happened outside a home on Leroy Avenue between Midbrook Lane and Highfield Lane.
